Figure 2. Holotype of Cercidospora cladoniicola.<br />
Ascospores. Bar 10 prm.<br />
Type: Norway, Nord-Trondelag, Flatanger,<br />
Roythaugfjellet, UTM 32W NS 8548-49, map<br />
1623 I, alt. 40-L20 m, ravine with vertical rock<br />
and coastal deciduous forest, on Cladonia<br />
arbuscula, 27 July 1993, V. Alstrup (C, holotype).<br />
Ascomata immersed, only ostiolar region free,<br />
c. 100 pm diam., ascomS wall brown in free<br />
part, the colour evenly distributed in the cell<br />
walls, immersed parts of ascoma wall pale to<br />
hyaline. Hamathecium sparse, of branched and<br />
anastomosing elements 1-1.5 pm thick. Asci<br />
cylindrical, fissirunicate, 60-65 x 10-11 pm, 8spored.<br />
Ascospores 3-septate, slightly<br />
constricted at the median septum, rarely<br />
constricted at the other septa, the lower cells<br />
narrower than the upper ones, not halonate, L6-<br />
20 x 5-6 pm.<br />
Cercidospora cladoniicola was found in the<br />
upper part of the podetia, which are somewhat<br />
deformed by the parasite.<br />
Hafellner (1987) included species with 3-6septate<br />
ascospore in Cercidospora, and Grube &<br />
Hafellner (1990: 292-293) further treated the<br />
genus in connection with similar genera, of<br />
which only Arthopyrenia with a different ascus<br />
type has l-3-septate ascospores. Most of the<br />
species have blue to green wall-cells, brown<br />
being rare, and halonate ascospores. Halo was<br />
not observed even with unripe ascospores of C.<br />
cladoniicola. Two other species with multiseptate<br />
spores are known: C. stereocaulorun (Arn.)<br />
Hafellner known from Stereocaulon and C.<br />
Iichenicola (ZopD Hafellner, known from
