Two new species of Phialocephala were isolated from the periderm of living branches of forest trees in Germany. In culture, Phialocephala compacta Kowalski & Kehr sp.nov., found on Alnus, is characterized by crowded conidiogenous heads that become deeply pigmented with age. Phialocephala scopiformis Kowalski & Kehr sp.nov., isolated from Picea and other conifers, develops elongated, complex conidiogenous heads with up to 15 series of branches in culture. The taxonomic placement of both new species and their role in endophytism and in natural pruning of branches is discussed. Key words: Picea abies, Alnus glutinosa, Phialocephala compacta, Phialocephala scopiformis, branch pruning fungi.

Two new species from northeastern Somalia, Dicoma paivae and Dicoma cinerea (Asteraceae), both of section Psilocoma Harv., are described. Dicoma paivae is most similar to Dicoma cana Balf. f. of Socotra Island, from which it can be distinguished by its wider, twisted branches, larger, aristate, conduplicate leaves, smaller capitula, and straw-coloured, coriaceus inner phyllaries. Dicoma cinerea is very closely related to Dicoma schimperi (DC.) O. Hoffm. of northeast tropical Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, from which it can be distinguished by the dense whitish tomentum covering the whole plant and by its broadly ovate to almost orbicular leaves with margins bearing bulbous teeth. Key words: Asteraceae, Dicoma, new species, tropical Africa, Somalia.

Two new species of aero-aquatic fungi, Helicodendron praetermissum sp.nov. and Spirosphaera carici-graminis sp.nov. are described and illustrated. They are compared with similar species. Because they were found exclusively on monocotyledonous plant remains submerged in small pools and ditches, their ecology and distribution is discussed. Key words: mitosporic fungi, hyphomycetes, aero-aquatic fungi, Helicodendron praetermissum, Spirosphaera carici-graminis.

During a study of foliicolous fungi on Syzygium cordatum in South Africa, several previously undescribed or unreported fungi were collected. Two new species of Anungitea, Anungitea caespitosa and Anungitea syzygii, are described from leaf litter. An additional four new taxa are also described, Chloridium constrictospora, Parasympodiella elongata, and Vermiculariopsiella spiralis from litter, and Podosporium etheldoidgeae from living leaves. Several saprobic fungi are reported for the first time in South Africa. The morphological variation occurring in Conoplea mangenotii is discussed. Key words: foliicolous fungi, Myrtaceae, systematics, Syzygium cordatum.

Two new species of Platystele were discovered at the orchid-rich forest of Los Cedros Reserve at North-west Ecuador. Many species of orchids grow in these forests and some endemic to it. Platystele cedriensis is similar to P. rhinocera from which it differs in the horizontal to descending inflorescence and the three-veined dorsal sepal. Platystele decouxii presents flowers with a unique heart-shaped lip with a heart-shape depression in the blade of the lip. We warn that on-going mining activities and concessions put in risk these and other endemic species from Los Cedros Reserve. Key words: Carchi, Orchidaceae, Platystele cedriensis, Platystele decouxii, sympatric species

Two new species of bryobiont flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini) from Dominican Republic are described and illustrated: Andersonaltica neiba sp. nov. (Sierra de Neiba) and A. villabarrancoli sp. nov. (Sierra de Baoruco). New species are compared morphologically with each other. Unusual intraspecific variability of A. villabarrancoli is reported. To obtain additional data in understanding the similarities between the specimens of A. villabarrancoli, we sequenced the Cytochrome oxidase I barcode region of adults and larvae. In all cases, the sequences are identical suggesting that the specimens in questions are conspecific. Key words: Bryobionts, COI barcodes, flea beetles, Monoplatina, moss cushions, species boundaries
