Description

Heteromicrosphaeropsis ononidicola (Thambug., Camporesi & K.D.Hyde)

M.Mehrabi-Koushki, K.D.Hyde & Jayaward., comb. nov.

Microsphaeropsis ononidicola Thambug., Camporesi & K.D.Hyde, Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology 8: 220 (Thambugala et al. 2018).

MYCOBANK. — MB 841491.

DESCRIPTION

See Thambugala et al. (2018).

NOTES

Microsphaeropsis ononidicola was introduced with the description of a saprobic strain (MFLUCC 15-0459) isolated from dead aerial stems of Ononis spinosa L. (Fabaceae) in Italy (Thambugala et al. 2018). In the phylogenetic analyses of the present study (Fig. 1), this species is distant from the Microsphaeropsis lineage and other genera in the Microsphaeropsis complex. Therefore, a new genus Heteromicrosphaeropsis M.Mehrabi-Koushki, K.D.Hyde & Jayaward., gen. nov. is introduced to accommodate this species. Nucleotide comparison of Heteromicrosphaeropsis M.Mehrabi-Koushki, K.D.Hyde & Jayaward., gen. nov. with Microsphaeropsis species revealed a difference of 0.6% (3/521 bp) in the LSU region, 2.6% (11/431 bp) in the ITS and 11% (22/198 bp) in the tub 2. However, this new genus is morphologically similar to Microsphaeropsis but phylogenetically different.
