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 />

694 - Taxonomic re-evaluation <strong>of</strong> three related species<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 />
