Tetropium species (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) are<br />
secondary, though important pests <strong>of</strong> their host trees in<br />
Europe. Tetropium fuscum and T. castaneum principally<br />
infest Norway spruce (Picea abies), while Tetropium<br />
gabrieli attacks primarily European larch (Larix decidua).<br />
Recently, the fungal associates <strong>of</strong> Tetropium spp. in Europe<br />
and Canada came under scrutiny after the invasion <strong>of</strong> T.<br />
fuscum into Atlantic Canada. Outside its native habitat in<br />
Europe, T. fuscum proved to be a potentially devastating<br />
pest and with it came Ophiostoma tetropii, a fungus that<br />
has previously not been recorded in Canada. An unknown<br />
species <strong>of</strong> Ophiostoma was isolated from Norway spruce,<br />
infested by Tetropium sp. on European larch, infested by T.<br />
gabrieli in Europe. Although similar to O. minus, this<br />
fungus could be distinguished from this species and is<br />
described here as Ophiostoma kryptum prov. nom.<br />
Ophiostoma kryptum is characterized by perithecia with<br />
short necks and a Hyalorhinocladiella anamorph as well as<br />
a Leptographium-like anamorph. Although O. kryptum and<br />
O. minus are morphologically very similar, molecular data,<br />
significant differences in their colony morphologies on OA<br />
and MEA and differences in their habitat and insect vectors<br />
distinguish them. Ophiostoma minus and O. kryptum thus<br />
represent another example <strong>of</strong> morphologically similar, yet<br />
genetically and ecologically separated species in the<br />
ophiostomatoid fungi.<br />

Graphium pseudormiticum was described in 1994 from the<br />
galleries <strong>of</strong> the bark beetle, Orthotomicus erosus,<br />
introduced into South Africa from Europe. This fungus is<br />
characterized by conidia with conspicious basal frills that<br />
are produced in false chains, a trait not observed in other<br />
species <strong>of</strong> Graphium. Rhexographium fimbriasporum was<br />
described in 1995 from Ips typographus on Picea abies and<br />
was distinguished from Graphium based on its apparently<br />
unique conidiogenesis. The conidia <strong>of</strong> R. fimbriasporum<br />
are produced in false chains and have conspicious basal<br />
frills. In this study we compared G. pseudormiticum with<br />
R. fimbriasporum based on DNA sequences, morphology<br />
and ecology. We included a large collection <strong>of</strong> isolates,<br />
tentatively identified as Graphium spp., collected from I.<br />
typographus on Picea abies, Ips cembrae on Larix decidua<br />
and Tomicus minor on Pinus sylvestris. Graphium<br />
pseudormiticum and R. fimbriasporum were<br />

morphologically similar and based on rDNA sequence (ITS<br />
and 18S), phylogenetically closely related but different,<br />
grouping with species <strong>of</strong> Graphium. Rhexographium<br />
fimbriasporum will thus be transferred to Graphium, but<br />
remains distinct from G. pseudormiticum. Another fungus<br />
with conidia and conidium development similar to G.<br />
pseudormiticum, is one <strong>of</strong> the dominant associates <strong>of</strong> I.<br />
cembrae on L. decidua in Europe. This fungus is<br />
distinguished from G. pseudormiticum and G.<br />
fimbriasporum based on morphology and phylogeny and is<br />
described as G. laricis prov. nom.<br />

The methods to identify the crustose lichen family<br />
Pertusariaceae are composed with morphological and<br />
anatomical studies, chemical test by spot test, UV test,<br />
recrystallization, thin layer chromatography (TLC) and<br />
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). That can<br />
identify Pertusariaceae into two genera Pertusaria and<br />
Ochrolechia. The different distinctly characters <strong>of</strong><br />
Ochrolechia from Pertusaria are well-defined prominent<br />
exciple, vivid colour disc and the chemical, gyrophoric<br />
acid with a little amount <strong>of</strong> others. While as Pertusaria has<br />
two forms <strong>of</strong> apothecia, disciform and verruciform without<br />
superfacial thallus and more chemicals, xanthones, orcinol<br />
depsides, depsones and depsidones. Species <strong>of</strong> Pertusaria<br />
are P. albescens, P. amara, P. asiana, P. cicatricosa, P.<br />
cinchonae, P. coccopoda, P. commutata, P. leiocarpella, P.<br />
melaleucoides, P. patellifera, P. pertusa, P. scaberula, P.<br />
scutellifera, P. thwaitesii, P. tetrathalamia, P. tropica, P.<br />
velata, P. wattiana, P. xantholeuca and P. xylophyes. Most<br />
<strong>of</strong> them are new records in Thailand. Many specimens<br />
could be new species. Species <strong>of</strong> Ochrolechia are during<br />
identification.<br />
