Brazilian Semi-Arid Ascomycetes I: new and interesting records of hysteriaceous ascomycetes

Abstract

During an investigation of ascomycetes carried out in one area of Caatinga and three enclaves of the Atlantic Forest in the semi-arid region of Brazil, we found ten interesting species of hysteriaceous ascomycetes. Psiloglonium clavisporum and Rhytidhysteron opuntiae are new records for South America and Anteaglonium abbreviatum, Hysterium angustatum and Hysterobrevium smilacis are new records for Brazil. All species are described, illustrated and discussed.

Brazilian Semi-Arid Ascomycetes III: New records of Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes

“…A survey of ascomycetes in three enclaves of Atlantic Forest in the Caatinga biome of Brazil was performed from 2011 to 2013, resulting in the collection of 460 specimens. The ongoing study of these specimens has already resulted in the descriptions of seven new species and a new genus (Almeida et al 2014b), while new and interesting records were reported in Almeida et al (2014a). In this paper we provide descriptions and illustrations for five additional records to add to the increasing knowledge of this group in Brazil.…”

“…Study area and morphological Study: Samples of dead twigs and decaying wood were collected from March 2011 to May 2013 in three enclaves of Atlantic Forest in the Caatinga biome of the semiarid region of Brazil. Description of the study area and methods for collection and morphological examination of specimens have been previously described (Almeida et al 2014b, Almeida et al 2014a. Specimens are deposited in the Herbarium of the State University of Feira de Santana (HUEFS).…”
