Sulcispora supratumida sp. nov. (Phaeosphaeriaceae, Pleosporales) on Anthoxanthum odoratum from Italy

Abstract

Sulcispora is typified by S.pleurospora. We collected a sulcispora-like taxon on leaves of Anthoxanthumodoratum L. in Italy and obtained single ascospore isolates. Combined ITS, LSU, SSU and tef1 sequence analyses suggested that Sulcispora is placed in the family Phaeosphaeriaceae and a newly collected Sulcispora species is introduced here as S.supratumida sp. nov. Detailed descriptions and illustrations are provided for Sulcisporasupratumida and it is compared with the type species, S.pleurospora.

Neostagonosporella sichuanensis gen. et sp. nov. (Phaeosphaeriaceae, Pleosporales) on Phyllostachys heteroclada (Poaceae) from Sichuan Province, China

“…1 which is the best scoring tree generated from ML. The phylogenetic trees generated from ML analyses were similar to previous phylogenies including Phaeosphaeriaceae (Phookamsak et al 2014a, b, 2017, Jayasiri et al 2015, Li et al 2015, Liu et al 2015, Phukhamsakda et al 2015, Tibpromma et al 2015, 2016, 2017, Hyde et al 2016, Mapook et al 2016, Ahmed et al 2017, Huang et al 2017, Karunarathna et al 2017, Thambugala et al 2017, Ariyawansa et al 2018, Bakhshi et al 2018, Senanayake et al 2018, Wanasinghe et al 2018).…”

“…Since 2014, many new genera have been introduced based on molecular data (Ariyawansa et al 2015b, Ertz et al 2015, Crous et al 2015a, 2015b, 2017a, Jayasiri et al 2015, Li et al 2015, Phukhamsakda et al 2015, Rossman et al 2015, Tibpromma et al 2015, 2017, Abd-Elsalam et al 2016, Hernández-Restrepo et al 2016, Hyde et al 2016, 2017, Tennakoon et al 2016, Wijayawardene et al 2016, Ahmed et al 2017, Huang et al 2017, Karunarathna et al 2017, Phookamsak et al 2017, Bakhshi et al 2018, Senanayake et al 2018, Wanasinghe et al 2018). The placement of some older genera has been reconfirmed with DNA sequence (Phookamsak et al 2017, Senanayake et al 2018). However, there are still a few genera lacking molecular data, such as Bricookea , Dothideopsella , Eudarluca , Phaeostagonospora and Tiarospora .…”

Fungal diversity notes 1151–1276: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa

“…Type Paraloratospora has similar morphological characteristics with Phaeosphaeria and can be distinguished from Wingfieldomyces in having hyaline to light brown, or light yellowish, fusiform to ellipsoidal, 3-4-septate, smoothwalled ascospores, with the second cell from the apex is swollen and surrounded by a mucilaginous sheath, whereas the monotypic genus Wingfieldomyces has elongate fusoid, finely verruculose, red-brown, 2-septate ascospores and central cell somewhat swollen (Marin-Felix et al 2019a). Loratospora differs in having ovoid or ampulliform asci, with pale yellowish, elongate fusiform ascospores and Sulcispora differs in having subglobose to clavate asci with reddish to dark brown, fusiform to subclavate ascospores, with 12-16 longitudinal furrows on surface and lacking mucilaginous 1 3 (Senanayake et al 2018a). Thus, we believe it would taxonomically astute to place our isolate in a new genus for the time being (Paraloratospora).…”

Diversity, morphology and molecular phylogeny of Dothideomycetes on decaying wild seed pods and fruits

“…Phaeosphaeriaceae M.E. Barr, Mycologia 71: 948 (1979) This is a highly diverse and large family in the order Pleosporales (Hyde et al 2013) with 42 genera (Phookamsak et al 2014, Hyde et al 2017, Senanayake et al 2018, Wanasinghe et al 2018b). We introduce a new species from the genus Phaeosphaeria based on the multigene phylogeny coupled with morphological characters (Fig.…”
