Three hyphomycetes collected on litter in India are described: Kramasamuha sibika gen. et sp. nov., Sympodiella laxa sp. nov., and Zanclospora indica sp. nov.
Two interesting Hyphomycetes isolated from horse dung from Mussoorie, Uttar Pradesh, India, are described. Gliophragma setosum gen. et sp. nov. is a synnematous form with slimy, solitary, hyaline blastospores (phragmospores); the cells of the spore are produced by acropetal budding. The synnema is adnate to a seta and also bears smaller seta-like processes along with the conidiophores (free ends of hyphae of synnema). Another fungus producing staurospores closely similar in basic ontogeny to the spores of G. setosum, but on mononematous conidiophores, is classified in the genus Speiropsis Tubaki as S. hyalospora sp. nov. Both genera may be placed in the family Torulaceae Corda emend. Subram.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
