The family Melanommataceae is widespread in temperate and subtropical regions and species invariably occur on twigs or bark of various woody plants in terrestrial, marine or freshwater habitats. In ...this paper, the type species of 26 genera of the family are re-described and illustrated. A multi-gene phylogeny based on maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of LSU, SSU, RPB2 and EF-1α sequence data of species of Melanommataceae is provided. The new genera, Muriformistrickeria, Pseudostrickeria and Thysanolaenae are introduced. Anomalemma is synonymized under Exosporiella. Acrocordiopsis, Astrosphaeriella, Beverwykella, Caryosporella, Sporidesmiella and Pseudotrichia are excluded from Melanommataceae based on molecular phylogenetic analyses. Presently, 20 genera are accepted in Melanommataceae. Based on the phylogenetic data, five new species, Byssosphaeria siamensis, Herpotrichia vaginatispora, Pseudostrickeria muriformis, Pseudostrickeria ononidis and Muriformistrickeria rubi, are introduced.
We are studying the lignicolous freshwater fungi along a north–south latitudinal gradient in Asia. In this paper, fresh collections of
Sporoschisma
from submerged wood in Yunnan Province, China, are ...characterized by morphology and ITS and nuclear large subunit 28S rDNA sequences. The phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS and LSU sequence data placed the isolates within the family
Chaetosphaeriaceae
, order Chaetosphaeriales. The collections were identified as
Sporoschisma hemipsilum
,
S. mirabile
,
S. nigroseptatum
,
S. phaeocentron
, and
S. taitense
, while
S. mirabile
,
S. nigroseptatum
,
S. phaeocentron,
and
S. taitense
are the first records in China.
Sporoschisma aquaticum
is described as new species. The conidial characters of
Sporoschisma
species obtained in this study are summarized. Descriptions and illustrations are provided for the six species of
Sporoschisma
with notes on their taxonomy.
