Two New Species of Spadicoides from Brunei and Hong Kong

Abstract

Spadicoides hodgkissa sp. no\: and Spadicoides arengae sp. nov., recorded from submerged decaying wood in Hong Kong and from decaying palm fronds in Brunei, are described and illustrated. Spadicoides hodgkissa is characterized by versicolored, obovoid conidia with up to 2 septa, including a distal distoseptum and a proximal euseptum, while Spadicoides arengae is characterized by unicellular, ellipsoidal conidia with verruculose walls that are relatively large. Eight genera, including Dendrographium, Helminthospomum, Luzfm'diella, Paliphora, Poljschemu, Po-Iq'tretophora, Porosubramaniania, and Weujin, have the same conidiogenesis as Spadicoides. X key to these genera is provided.

Fungos conidiais do bioma Caatinga I. Novos registros para o continente americano, Neotrópico, América do Sul e Brasil

“…Encontrada nas Filipinas (Goh et al 1998 (Kirk 1983a, Castañeda-Ruiz & Arnold 1985, Castañeda-Ruiz & Kendrick 1991, Zucconi 1992, Matsushima 1996, Castañeda-Ruiz et al 1998b, Shin & Braun 1998, Fernandes et al 2007). Dulymamode et al (1999), Zhou et al (1999), Ho et al (2002) e Cai et al (2004). Spadicoides obovata (Cooke & Ellis) S. Hughes é similar à S. macroobovata pela produção de conídios obvóides, 2-septados, septos espessos e com célula basal mais clara do que as demais, porém difere notavelmente pelo tamanho menor (Matsushima 1975;Ellis 1963).…”

<i>Spadicoides camelliae</i> and <i>Diplococcium livistonae</i>, two new hyphomycetes on dead branches from Fujian Province, China

“…Species were assigned in the respective genera based on conidial characteristics and the branching of conidiophores. Thus far, 33 species have been accepted in Spadicoides, 6 of which were described from China (Zhou et al 1999;Wong et al 2002;Ho et al 2002;Cai et al 2004;Li et al 2010;Ma et al 2010) (Kuthubutheen and Nawawi 1991;Goh and Hyde 1998b;Wang and Sutton 1998;Li et al 2010). The Selenosporella synanamorph was found on the host fungi.…”
