misc Dothideomycetes LSU sequences Friday, 18 January 2019 8:53 AM LSU sequences generated from three recently collected specimens of Dothideomycetes from New Zealand were incorporated into the LSU phylogeny published by Guatimosim et al. 2015 (Persoonia 35: 230-241, http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158515X688046) PDD 112249 (https://scd.landcareresearch.co.nz/Specimen/PDD%20112249) is a hyperparasite of Rhagadolobium dicksoniifolium. This specimen has immature ascomata typical of Paranectriella (Rossman, Myc Pap 157, 1987) and Titaea conidia of the asexual state. Paranectriella was placed in the Paranectriellaceae by Hyde et al. (Families of Dothideomycetes, Fungal Diversity 63: 1-313, 2013), incertae sedis in the Dothideomycetes. The sequences from PDD 112249 are the first for this family, and confirm its unclear relationship within the Dothideomycetes. PDD 112241 (https://scd.landcareresearch.co.nz/Specimen/PDD%20112241) is a Parmulariaceae-like pathogen of the fern Adiantum cunninghamii. LSU sequences placed it sister to Asterotexis and Inocyclus angularis in the Guatimosim et al. 2015 phylogeny. Although these authors treat Inocyclus as incertae sedis because no type material has been studied, their order Asterotexiales seem appropriate for the PDD 112241 fungus with respect to biology and morphology. Based on the phylogeny, it probably needs a new genus. NG_059638 is the GenBank record for the LSU sequences from PDD 107531 (https://scd.landcareresearch.co.nz/Specimen/PDD_ 107531) the holotype specimen of Neocoleroa metrosideri, a leaf pathogen of Metrosideros excelsa. This is the only DNA sequence available for a species of Neocoleroa. The LSU phylogeny presented here confirms the conclusion of Johnston & Park (2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.253.3.5) that Neocoleroa belongs in the Symptoventuriaceae, a clade sister to the Venturiaceae. Capnodiales Aulographaceae Hysteriaceae Gloniaceae Paranectriellaceae Botryosphaeriales Tubeufiaceae Patellariaceae Asterotexiaceae Aliquandostipitaceae Asterinaceae Parmulariaceae Venturiaceae Sympoventuriaceae Phaeotrichaceae bits and pieces Page 1 .

Keys to the Genera of Amerospored and Didymospored Pyrenomycetes
KEYS TO THE GENERA OF AMEROSPORED AND DIDYMOSPORED PYRENOMYCETES from J. A. von Arx and E. Muller Beitrage zur Kryptogamenflora der Schweiz Translated into English by G. B. BUTTERFILL COMMONWEALTH MYCOLOGICAL INSTITUTE KEW, SURREY, ENGLAND © Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux 1969 Printed lithographically by E. C. Freeman Ltd., London, S.W. INTRODUCTION Studies on the genera of pyrenomycetes issued as Contributions to the Cryptogamic Flora of Switzerland occupy three volumes at present - the Amerospored Pyrenomycetes by J. A. vonArxandE. Muller, the Didymospored Pyrenomycetes by E. Miiller and J. A. von Arx, and the Hysteriaceae and Lophiaceae by H. Zogg. These volumes represent a much wider study and more modern interpretation of the pyrenomycete genera covered than any book published in English. Dr. Zogg's contribution has a very simple introductory key to the genera he includes, and this has not been translated. The two volumes by von Arx and Muller deal with a very large number of genera and one is directed to these by a number of keys to the orders, families and genera. To facilitate the use of these volumes at the CMI, the keys were translated into English and they have been available for use by working visitors interested in the pyrenomycetes. This use has led to numerous requests that we arrange for publication of the keys for use in laboratories where German is not spoken and has become rusty through lack of use. We are indebted to Dr. von Arx and Dr. Muller and the committee responsible for the Swiss Cryptogamic Flora who gave us permission to reproduce the following keys, and we hereby gratefully acknowledge their kindness and generosity.

In this study, we re-analyze the available sequence data for taxa of the family and re-examine the type species of Hemigrapha, Inocyclus and Parmularia. The phylogenetic tree generated from maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of combined LSU-SSU sequence data demonstrate the relationships among Hemigrapha, Inocyclus and Parmularia species, and the relations of Buelliella, Karschia, Labrocarpon, Lembosia, Melaspileella, Melaspileopsis and Stictographa. We introduce Parmulariales ord. nov. to accommodate Parmulariaceae and the order Asterinales accommodates Asterinaceae, Asterotexaceae, Hemigraphaceae fam. nov., Melaspileellaceae fam. nov. and Stictographaceae fam. nov. Notes for each new order and families are provided.

Towards a Phylogenetic Reappraisal of Parmulariaceae and Asterinaceae (Dothideomycetes)
Persoonia 35, 2015: 230–241 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158515X688046 Towards a phylogenetic reappraisal of Parmulariaceae and Asterinaceae (Dothideomycetes) E. Guatimosim1*, A.L. Firmino1*, J.L. Bezerra 2, O.L. Pereira1, R.W. Barreto1, P.W. Crous3,4,5 Key words Abstract Members of the Asterinaceae and Parmulariaceae are obligate biotrophic fungi with a pantropical dis- tribution that grow in direct association with living plant tissues and produce external ascomata and bitunicate asci. Asterinales These fungi are poorly known, with limited information about their taxonomic position in the Dothideomycetes. epitype Much of what is known is conjectural and based on observation of morphological characters. An assessment of Neotropical fungi the phylogenetic position of the Asterinaceae and Parmulariaceae is provided based on a phylogenetic analysis of taxonomic novelties the nrDNA operon (ITS) and the large subunit rDNA (LSU) sequence data obtained from fresh material of selected type species species collected in Brazil. Three key species were included and epitypiﬁed, namely Asterina melastomatis, which is the type species for the type genus of the Asterinaceae; Prillieuxina baccharidincola (Asterinaceae); and Parmularia styracis, which is the type species for the type genus of the Parmulariaceae. An LSU rDNA phylogenetic analysis was performed indicating the correct phylogenetic placement of the Asterinales within the Dothideomycetes. From this initial analysis it is clear that the Parmulariaceae as currently circumscribed is polyphyletic, and that the As terinaceae and Parmulariaceae are related, which justiﬁes the maintenance of the order Asterinales. Asterotexis cucurbitacearum is recognised as distinct from other Dothideomycetes and placed in the newly proposed family and order (Asterotexiaceae, Asterotexiales), while the higher order phylogeny of Inocyclus angularis remains un- resolved.

An overview of the history and descriptions and illustrations of these genera are provided. Based on morphological similarities, Placostromella is placed in Parmulariaceae, while Pseudotrichia is transferred to Montagnulaceae. Pleosphaerellula is placed in Pleosporales, genera incertae sedis and Polysporidiella is retained in Dothideomycetes, genera incertae sedis as it is not typical of any existing family of Dothideomycetes. According to published phylogenetic data, Dolabra belongs in Chaetothyriomycetidae, genera incertae sedis (Eurotiomycetes). Recollection, epitypifycation and multi-gene molecular analyses are needed for all type species of these genera in order to clarify their familial status. By illustrating and redescribing the type species we expect to stimulate interest for these fungi to be recollected.
