Abstract Background: Current tools for Co-phylogenetic analyses are not able to cope with the continuous accumulation of phylogenetic data. The sophisticated statistical test for host-parasite co-phylogenetic analyses implemented in Parafit does not allow it to handle large datasets in reasonable times. The Parafit and DistPCoA programs are the by far most compute-intensive components of the Parafit analysis pipeline.

Bot. Fennici 44: 181–185. The first record of Anthracoidea siderostictae Kukkonen from Russia provides the background to review the taxonomy, host spectrum and world distribution of this rare smut fungus. The Russian collection is fully described and illustrated with drawings of the infected plant, and with LM and SEM micrographs of spores. Anthracoidea siderostictae is now known from six localities in China, Japan and Russia, where it infects representatives of Carex sect. Siderostictae. The global distribution of A. siderostictae is mapped. Key words: Anthracoidea, host range, mycogeography, smut fungi, taxonomy The smut fungus Anthracoidea siderostictae is be a very rare East Asian smut fungus. During one of the few species of Anthracoidea described the course of a study of various collections of by Ilkka Kukkonen from outside of Europe, Anthracoidea I examined a specimen collected during his extensive studies on the genus (Kuk- in Primorski Krai in Russia, infecting Carex konen 1963, 1964a, 1964b). When describing siderosticta and identified as “Cintractia subin- this species Kukkonen (1964b) designated as a clusa (Körn.) Magnus”. The specimen appeared holotype a specimen on Carex siderosticta from to represent typical Anthracoidea siderostictae Japan, and in addition enumerated three other that, accordingly, is new to Russia.

Szafer Institute of Botany, Polish Academy of Sciences, Lubicz 46, PL-31-512 Kraków, Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The new smut fungus, Anthracoidea transberingiana attacking ovaries of Carex pauciflora, is described and illustrated from Beringia (Alaska and Kamchatka). The new species is compared with Anthracoidea caricis-pauciflorae infecting the same host plant species predominantly in northern Europe, from which it differs in having smaller spores, thinner spore walls, 2–3 weakly visible internal swellings and somewhat less prominent spore ornamentation. Key words: Anthracoideaceae, Cyperaceae, plant pathogens, smut fungi, Ustilaginales Introduction The few-flowered sedge Carex pauciflora Lightfoot (1777: 543) is a circumpolar species, widely distributed in arctic, boreal and montane ecosystems of North America, Europe and Asia where it occurs mostly on the Sphagnum bogs or different kinds of acidic peat soils (Chater 1980, Hultén & Fries 1986, Egorova 1999, Cochrane 2002). In northern Europe, the few-flowered sedge is rarely infected by the ovary smut Anthracoidea caricis-pauciflorae (Lehtola 1940: 127) Kukkonen (1963: 74). This smut species was also reported from two extra-European stations, namely British Colombia in North America (Kukkonen 1963) and Kamchatka in Asia (Karatygin & Azbukina 1989). In the European and world smut monographs, Vánky (1994, 2012) reported that A. caricis-pauciflorae occurs in northern Europe, northern North America and north-east Asia.

    Mykologie am Lehrstuhl Spezielle Botanik und Mykologie der Universität Tübingen, 1974-2011 FRANZ OBERWINKLER Kurzfassung Wir beschreiben die mykologischen Forschungsaktivitäten am ehemaligen Lehrstuhl „Spezi- elle Botanik und Mykologie“ der Universität Tübingen von 1974 bis 2011 und ihre interna- tionalen Ausstrahlung. Leitschiene unseres gemeinsamen mykologischen Forschungskonzep- tes war die Verknüpfung von Gelände- mit Laborarbeiten sowie von Forschung mit Lehre. Dieses Konzept spiegelte sich in einem weit gefächerten Lehrangebot, das insbesondere den Pflanzen als dem Hauptsubstrat der Pilze breiten Raum gab. Lichtmikroskopische Untersu- chungen der zellulären Baupläne von Pilzen bildeten das Fundament für unsere Arbeiten: Identifikationen, Ontogeniestudien, Vergleiche von Mikromorphologien, Überprüfen von Kulturen, Präparateauswahl für Elektronenmikroskopie, etc. Bereits an diesen Beispielen wird die Methodenvernetzung erkennbar. In dem zu besprechenden Zeitraum wurden Ultrastrukturuntersuchungen und Nukleinsäurese- quenzierungen als revolutionierende Methoden für den täglichen Laborbetrieb verfügbar. Flankiert wurden diese Neuerungen durch ständig verbesserte Datenaufbereitungen und Aus- wertungsprogramme für Computer. Zusammen mit den traditionellen Anwendungen der Lichtmikroskopie und der Kultivierung von Pilzen stand somit ein effizientes Methodenspek- trum zur Verfügung, das für systematische, phylogenetische und ökologische Fragestellungen gleichermaßen eingesetzt werden konnte, insbesondere in der Antibiotikaforschung, beim

Fax: 0049 7071 295344 E-mail: [email protected] Received 6-V-2000. Corrected 30-X-2000. Accepted 31-X-2000. Abstract: This is the first publication dedicated to the diversity of smut fungi in Panama based on field work, the study of herbarium specimens, and references taken from literature. It includes smuts parasitizing cultivated and wild plants. The latter are mostly found in rural vegetation. Among the 24 species cited here, 14 species are recorded for the first time for Panama. One of them, Sporisorium ovarium, is observed for the first time in Central America. Entyloma spilanthis is found on the host species Acmella papposa var. macrophylla (Asteraceae) for the first time. Entyloma costaricense and Entyloma ecuadorense are considered synonyms of Entyloma compositarum and Entyloma spilanthis respectively. For the new conbination Sponsorium panamensis see note at the end of this publication. Descriptions of the species are complemented by some illustrations, a checklist, and a key. Key words: Checklist, neotropics, Panama, smut fungi, Sponsorium panamensis, Tilletiales, Ustilaginales Smut fungi (Ustilaginomycetes and Micro- literature (Zundel 1939, 1953, Toler et al. 1959, botryales, Urediniomycetes; Basidiomycota; Dennis 1970, Comstock et al. 1983). Bauer et al. 1997, 2001) are parasites of plants, The check list in the present publication is especially herbs belonging to the Poaceae and far from complete, being based on only about Cyperaceae.

  • Cintractiellaceae Fam. Nov. (Ustilaginomycetes)
    Fungal Diversity Cintractiellaceae fam. nov. (Ustilaginomycetes) Kálmán Vánky∗ Herbarium Ustilaginales Vánky (HUV), Gabriel-Biel-Str. 5, D-72076 Tübingen, Germany; e- mail: [email protected] Vánky, K. (2003). Cintractiellaceae fam. nov. (Ustilaginomycetes). Fungal Diversity 13: 167- 173. A new family, Cintractiellaceae, is proposed to accommodate the two peculiar smut fungi in the genus Cintractiella, C. diplasiae and C. lamii. Key words: Cintractiella, Cintractiella diplasiae, Cintractiella lamii, Cyperaceae, Hypolytreae, Mapanioideae, smut fungi, taxonomy Introduction The classification of smut fungi and allied taxa has changed radically since publication of a paper by Bauer et al. (1997). Application of modern methods (ultrastructural studies and molecular analyses), has opened the way towards a better, phylogenetical classification, in which surprising relationships have become evident. The results were published, i.a., in: Begerow et al. (1997/1998), Swann et al. (1999), Piepenbring et al. (1999), Bauer et al. (1999a,b, 2001), Vánky (1999b, 2000, 2001a), Begerow et al. (2000) and summarised by Bauer et al. (1998, 2000), Vánky (1999a, 2001b, 2002a,b). The classification of the smut fungi is, however, not settled. Molecular analyses, classical, morphological investigations, studies of the parasites correlated with the systematics of their host plants, as well as new discoveries will certainly increase the number of higher taxa of smut fungi (Microbotryales and Ustilaginomycetes). At present, the ca. 1450 known "classical" smut fungi (those possessing teliospores), are classified into two classes, three subclasses, 8 orders, 26 families and 77 genera (Vánky, 2002b). To these, the new family for the genus Cintractiella Boedijn should also be added. ∗Corresponding author: K. Vánky, e-mail: [email protected] 167 The genus Cintractiella Leaves of a Hypolytrum sp.
