Description

Heveicola R.F. Xu, K.D. Hyde & Tibpromma, gen. nov.

Index Fungorum Number: IF558798; Facesoffungi Number: FOF10490

Type species:— Heveicola xishuangbannaensis R.F. Xu, K.D. Hyde & Tibpromma

Etymology:— named after the host genus, Hevea.

Saprobic on decaying wood, leaves and rubber latex in terrestrial habitats. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Hyphomycetous. Colonies on natural substrate, mass of spores all over the surface. Conidiophores macronematous, synnematous, erect, brown to dark brown, cylindrical, septate. Conidia catenate, ellipsoidal or oblong, 0–4 to multi-septate, slightly constricted at median septum, rounded at both ends, formed in acropetal chains, often with a dark brown band at the septa, initially hyaline, pale brown to brown.

Notes:— Asexual morphs of all genera in Wiesneriomycetaceae have conidia produced in acropetal chains. The new genus also has chains of septate conidia, fitting the concept of Wiesneriomycetaceae. Heveicola differs morphologically from other members in Wiesneriomycetaceae (see key below).
