Description

Pantelleria Tedersoo gen. nov.

Type species.

Pantelleria saittana Tedersoo.

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on diagnostic nucleotide signature in SSU V 9 (positions 1671–1684 gaamctcggatcgtt in S. cerevisiae; one mismatch allowed), ITS 2 (positions 99–113 tcatttacttttaag in type species; one mismatch allowed), and 5.8S (positions 119–133 in type species and 120–134 in S. cerevisiae ataggtattcctrtg; one mismatch allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Pantelleriaceae, covering sequences EUK 1200019 and EUK 1137930 (Figs 1, 2).

Notes.

Recognized based on eDNA sequences only. Contains 6–7 potential species represented by sequences MW 163794 (cropland soil in Italy), OU 496195 (unspecified soil in China), EUK 0348072 (cropland soil in Benin), EUK 0348070 (woodland soil in Turkey), EUK 1137930 (urban soil in Estonia), and EUK 0516893 (park soil in Estonia).
