Dichomyces inaequalis Thaxt. (Thaxter 1894: 103) [MB#243210]

Diagnostic features

Thallus asymmetrical, small, up to 130 µm long. Lower tier of cells blackened, almost entirely opaque except for the central area. Middle tier of cells blackened outwards, extending with laterally superposed cells forming strips-like expansions as far as the upper part of the receptacle, right below the base of the perithecium. One perithecium for each thallus, on the upper tier, borne from one of the cells adnate to the axial cell in the center; auricles absent. [Detailed description: Thaxter 1896]

Distribution and hosts

Reported from Europe (Finland, France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Russia), America (USA), and Asia (Taiwan) (Santamaria et al. 1991). Also in China (Shen & Ye 2006), and Thailand (Rossi & Bernardi 2018). Infects species of the genus Philonthus (Col. Staphylinidae Staphylininae).

Remarks

First record from Denmark. This species should be compared with P. furcifera by size but differs from that species by the off-centered solitary perithecium lacking apical auricles.
