Congruence of morphological, reproductive and ITS rDNA sequence data in some AustralasianEunotia bilunaris(Bacillariophyta)

Abstract A new entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema colombiense n. sp., is described from Colombia. Morphological, molecular (28S and ITS rDNA sequence data) and cross-hybridisation studies were used for diagnostics and identification purposes. In addition, 28S and ITS rDNA sequence data were used to assess evolutionary relationships of the new species with other Steinernema spp. Morphological diagnostic features for S. colombiense n. sp. include morphometric features of the third-stage infective juvenile, including body length of 636 (549-732) μm, narrow body diam. (31 (22-36) μm), position of the excretory pore (35 (31-40) μm), tail length (41 (32-53) μm), D% = 29 (25-33) and E% = 205 (138-284). In addition, males of first and second generations are characterised by the morphology of the spicules and gubernaculum, the number and arrangement of the genital papillae and the excretory pore position (at 67 (56-76) and 54 (46-63) μm, for first and second generations, respectively). In addition to these traits, 28S and ITS rDNA sequences analyses both showed this species to be a distinct and unique entity.

AbstractITS rDNA sequence data shows that Diploicia and Diplotomma species form a monophyletic clade distinct from other Buellia species. This indicates that Diplotomma merits acceptance as a genus, and suggests that Diploicia should be treated as a synonym of Diplotomma, the earlier name. The data also shows Diploicia subcanescens, considered the fertile counterpart in a species pair with D. canescens, is nested within D. canescens and should be treated as a synonym despite reported chemical differences. In addition, the molecular data support the distinctness of Diplotomma rivas-martinezii, a species restricted to gypsum rocks in Spain, from the widespread D. venustum, which grows on calcareous rocks. Aposymbiotic cultures suggest that D. rivas-martinezii also differs from D. venustum in its germination and isolation success rates. One new combination is made: Diplotomnta pulverulenta (Anzi) D. Hawksw. (syn. Abrothallus pulverulentus Anzi) for the lichenicolous species previously known as Buellia pulverulenta.

A New Species

Podosphaera filipendulensis, a new teleomorph of powdery mildew was discovered on living leaves of Filipendula vestita (Rosaceae). It is the first species of powdery mildew that causes wilting and ultimately death of apical infected leaves of F. vestita. It is described, illustrated and compared with other Podosphaera species reported on Rosaceae and a key to all species reported on Rosaceae is provided. The phylogeny of this species has been inferred from internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequence data. Phylogenetically, P. filipendulensis is close to P. ferruginea var. ferruginea and P. macularis but differs in having larger chasmothecia, smaller peridium cells, shorter, narrower and aseptate appendages, 8-spored asci and smaller ascospores.
