from morphological studies, cross-inoculations and<br />

isozyme analyses. However, for stromatal morphology, the<br />

type description <strong>of</strong> E. eugeniae does not concur with that <strong>of</strong><br />

C. cubensis. New collections <strong>of</strong> Cryphonectria have<br />

become available to us and the aim <strong>of</strong> this study was to<br />

consider the validity <strong>of</strong> the synonymy <strong>of</strong> these two fungi.<br />

Isolates <strong>of</strong> C. cubensis and E. eugeniae were compared<br />

based on DNA sequences from the ITS1/ITS2 region and<br />

beta-tubulin genes. Specimens <strong>of</strong> clove in Zanzibar and<br />

South East Asia, were also compared morphologically with<br />

specimens <strong>of</strong> C. cubensis from Eucalyptus. Phylogenetic<br />

analyses showed that the majority <strong>of</strong> isolates from clove<br />

grouped together with C. cubensis isolates. A smaller<br />

number <strong>of</strong> isolates from Indonesia, however, grouped<br />

separately from the Cryphonectria and C. cubensis clades.<br />

Two fungi with different tissue types were observed on<br />

clove bark. One <strong>of</strong> these resembled C. cubensis. The other<br />

fungus is a species morphologically similar to<br />

Cryphonectria. The C. cubensis anamorph was<br />

morphologically variable on clove, which might explain<br />

anomalies regarding the description <strong>of</strong> E. eugeniae. Our<br />

results suggest that the synonymy <strong>of</strong> C. cubensis and E.<br />

eugeniae is valid. However, there is another fungus, closely<br />

related to Cryphonectria, also present on clove.<br />

For the genus Urocystis in China, Ling(1953) described 4<br />

species and Wang (1963) published 11 species. In 1979 Tai<br />

Fanlan in his 'Sylloge Fungorum Sinicorum' recorded 13<br />

species. So far a total <strong>of</strong> 36 species <strong>of</strong> the genus Urocystis<br />

are reported from China, distributed among 33 genera <strong>of</strong> 9<br />

families <strong>of</strong> the host plants. These smut species are arranged<br />

alphabetically as follows: Urocystis achnatheri, U.<br />

agropyri, U. agropyri-campestris, U. agrostidis, U.<br />

antipolitana, U. beijingensis, U. bolivari, U. brassicae, U.<br />

bromi, U. calamagrostidis, U. clintoniae, U. delphinii, U.<br />

dioscoreae, U. fischeri, U. granulosa, U. helanensis, U.<br />

hierochloae, U. irregularis, U. japonica, U. leersiae, U.<br />

magica, U. melicae, U. nevodovskyi, U. occulta, U. paridis,<br />

U. poae, U. primulicola, U. pulsatillae, U. qinghaiensis, U.<br />

ranunculi, U. rodgersiae, U. sorosporioides, U. stipae, U.<br />

tritici, U. ulei and U. yunnanensis. Among them, U.<br />

achnatheri, U. beijingensis, U. helanensis, U. qinghaiensis<br />

and U. yunnanensis were recently discovered as new<br />

species, known only from type locality and possibly<br />

endemic.<br />

Fulvidula (Gymnopilus P. Karst.) was divided by<br />

Romagnesi (1942) into Annulatae and Cortinatae (=<br />

section Gymnopilus Singer). The first includes species with<br />

a persistent, membranous annulus and the second species<br />

with an arachnoid veil. Hesler (1969) elevated Singer's<br />

sections to subgenera and divided Gymnopilus into two<br />

sections: Microspori and Gymnopilus. Guzmán-Dávalos<br />

(1995) proposed a third section, Macrospori, within<br />

Gymnopilus. This classification has been accepted by most<br />

authors; even though the assignment <strong>of</strong> a species is<br />

<strong>of</strong>tentimes ambiguous. Here we test the monophyly <strong>of</strong><br />

Gymnopilus and the appropriateness <strong>of</strong> the current<br />

classification system using ribosomal nuclear ITS1-5.8S-<br />

ITS2 sequence data. Phylogenetic analyses <strong>of</strong> 59 sequences<br />

(53 ingroup and 6 outgroup) were performed using<br />

maximum parsimony. Initial analyses support the<br />

monophyly <strong>of</strong> Gymnopilus. Its division into the two<br />

traditional subgenera was not supported, neither was the<br />

recognition <strong>of</strong> the three sections in subgenus Gymnopilus.<br />

Four well-supported clades were identified in the genus: 1)<br />

the spectabilis-imperialis group; 2) the penetrans-sapineus<br />

complex; 3) a clade formed by G. underwoodii, G.<br />

validipes and G. cf. flavidellus; and 4) the dilepis-medius<br />

group. Thus, while the presence <strong>of</strong> a membranous veil and<br />

the size <strong>of</strong> the basidiospores traditionally have been used to<br />

support infrageneric groups, these characters have been<br />

shown to be highly homoplastic, and <strong>of</strong> little use at this<br />

taxonomic level.<br />

676 - Species level identification <strong>of</strong> the barley pathogens<br />

in Pyrenophora: Morphological versus molecular<br />

evidence<br />

Pyrenophora teres and P. graminea cause two important<br />

foliar diseases <strong>of</strong> barley, net blotch and leaf stripe,<br />

respectively. P. teres comprises two pathovars (P. teres f.<br />

teres and P. teres f. maculata) differentiated by lesion type
