A dematiaceous hyphomycete, Diplococcium hughesii C.J.K. Wang & B. Sutton sp.nov., with a Selenosporella synanamorph, is described. It is characterized by dark, branched conidiophores bearing integrated, terminal, and intercalary conidiogenous cells. Pores are visible on the wall of the conidiogenous cells after conidium secession. Catenate conidia are acropleurogenous, subglobose to oblong, and 0-septate.Key words: hyphomycetes, dematiaceous genera, lignicolous, pleomorphic fungi.

Abstract Background Mycoleptodiscus indicus is a dematiaceous hyphomycete fungus found on plant leaves. It has been rarely reported as a cause of human or animal disease, possibly because it is difficult to culture and identify from clinical specimens. Infections are presumably acquired by traumatic implantation. Case presentation An 8-year-old non-immunosuppressed cat from Georgia, USA, presented with a left front leg swelling without lameness. Cytology from a fine needle aspirate revealed pyogranulomatous inflammation with both cytoplasmic and extracellular fungal elements. There were septate hyphae with irregularly sized segments, non-staining uneven walls, and rounded yeast-like forms from which longer hyphae arose in a hub-and-spoke pattern. A mold was isolated on agar from a fine needle aspirate collected 1 week later and identified as M. indicus by morphology, DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The cat recovered completely and uneventfully with antifungal treatment. Conclusions We report a previously undescribed presentation of M. indicus causing a subcutaneous infection in a cat with successful antifungal treatment. In this study we highlight the potential of M. indicus to infect immunocompetent animals, and the veterinary medical community should be aware of its unusual but characteristic clinical, microbiological and cytologic presentation.

Hirsutella are globally distributed entomopathogenic fungi that offer important economic applications in biological control and biomedicine. Hirsutella was suppressed in favour of Ophiocordyceps affected by the ending of dual nomenclature for pleomorphic fungi in 2011. Currently, Hirsutella has been resurrected as a genus under Ophiocordycipitaceae. In this study, we introduce two new species of Hirsutella, based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Hirsutella flava and H. kuankuoshuiensis are pathogenic on different species of larval Lepidoptera in China. Hirsutella flava primarily differs from related species by its awl-shaped base; long and narrow neck, 24–40.8 × 2.2–2.5 μm; long and narrow cymbiform or fusoid conidia, 6.5–10 × 2.1–4.3 μm. Hirsutella kuankuoshuiensis has two types of phialides and distinctive 9.9–12.6 × 2.7–4.5 μm, clavate or botuliform conidia. The distinctions amongst the new species and phylogenetic relationships with other Hirsutella species are discussed.

A dematiaceous Hyphomycete collected on Ixora leaf litter from India is described. The fungus produces two types of conidia: lenticular and selenoid, both typically bivalved with a germ slit, blastic, solitary, terminal on the conidiophore and its successive sympodial proliferations. It is conspecific with the Tanzanian collection of a fungus assigned by Pirozynski in 1972 to Rhinocladiella critaspora Matsushima and designated the holotype of a new species of Pseudobeltrania, P. selenoides, by de Hoog in 1977. Pseudobeltrania selenoides is made the type of a new genus Ardhachandra; Rhinocladiella critaspora Matsushima (= Pseudobeltrania critaspora (Matsushima) de Hoog) is transferred to Ardhachandra as A. critaspora (Matsushima) comb. nov.
