A taxonomic revision of Metarhizium based on a phylogenetic analysis of rDNA sequence data

A new genus and species of Lysitermini, Atritermus pedestris Belokobylskij, Zaldivar-Riverón & Quicke, are described from Madagascar. The taxonomic placement of the new genus within Lysiterminae is discussed based on a phylogenetic analysis using 28S rDNA gene sequences. A key to world genera of Lysitermini is provided.Un nuevo género y especie de Lysitermini, Atritermus pedestris Belokobylskij, Zaldivar-Riverón & Quicke, son descritos para Madagascar. La ubicación taxonómica del nuevo género dentro de Lysiterminae es discutida con base en un análisis filogenético usando secuencias del gen ribosomal 28S. Se presenta una clave para los géneros de Lysitermini del mundo.

Tamhinispora saraburiensis sp. nov. was collected on decaying culms of bamboo in Saraburi Province, Thailand. Tamhinispora saraburiensis is characterized as dark brown to black, obpyriform, and dictyoseptate and has conidia with long appendages arising from the conidial tip. Phylogenetic analyses of the combined ITS and LSU rDNA sequence data demonstrated that this species formed distinctly from other species and that it belongs in the family Tubeufiaceae. Tamhinispora saraburiensis is therefore introduced here with a description, morphological illustrations and molecular data. A key to the species of Tamhinispora is provided.

Rdna Sequence Data

Clinoconidium lauracearum sp. nov. (Cryptobasidiaceae) is described and illustrated from infected fruits of Cinnamomum tamala (Lauraceae) collected from Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand State, India. The species shows characteristics of Clinoconidium and Drepanoconis, but differs from other species in these genera by the combination of shapes, sizes, and septation of basidiospores. Molecular data also indicate that the present taxon is distinct from the other known species of Clinoconidium and Drepanoconis. Analyses of combined ITS and LSU rDNA and separate LSU rDNA sequence data reveal a close association of the present taxon to the genus Clinoconidium, but also that it is distinct from the other known species in the genus.
