Pseudostanjehughesia aquitropica gen. et sp. nov. and Sporidesmium sensu lato species from freshwater habitats

Phylogenetic analyses of multi-gene (LSU, SSU, TEF1α, RPB2 and ITS) sequence data support the placement of several Sporidesmium -like species within Sordariomycetes. The taxa collected in the present study were from unidentified submerged twigs in a stream in Prachuap Khiri Khan and Phang Nga Provin...

Description
Summary:Phylogenetic analyses of multi-gene (LSU, SSU, TEF1α, RPB2 and ITS) sequence data support the placement of several Sporidesmium -like species within Sordariomycetes. The taxa collected in the present study were from unidentified submerged twigs in a stream in Prachuap Khiri Khan and Phang Nga Provinces, Thailand and Guizhou Province, China . Morphological examination and phylogenetic analyses provide evidence for several taxonomic novelties, including a new genus ( Pseudostanjehughesia ) and five novel species ( Distoseptispora guttulata , D. phangngaensis , D. suoluoensis , Pseudostanjehughesia aquitropica and Sporidesmium gyrinomorphum ). The collections also comprised three previously described species ( Distoseptispora multiseptata , Sporidesmium thailandense and S. tropicale ). Descriptions and illustrations of the above taxa are provided and their systematic placement is discussed. The description of Distoseptispora is emended.
