Introducing Aculeata aquatica gen. et sp. nov., Minimelanolocus thailandensis sp. nov. and Thysanorea aquatica sp. nov. (Herpotrichiellaceae, Chaetothyriales) from freshwater in northern Thailand

Abstract

© 2018, German Mycological Society and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. Aculeata gen. nov., Minimelanolocus thailandensis sp. nov., Thysanorea aquatica sp. nov. and Veronaeabotryosa are described and illustrated from submerged wood collected from a freshwater habitat in Thailand. Morphological examination and phylogenetic analyses support the classification of the four isolates in Herpotrichiellaceae. Their relationships with other morphologically similar taxa are discussed. Veronaeabotryosa is reported for the first time from a freshwater habitat.
