Figure L. Holotype of Cephalosporiopsis<br />

epiparasitaster. Conidiophores with adhering<br />

conidia. Bar 10 pm.<br />

also included in Clauzade et al. (1989) but none<br />

of the species fits the present species.<br />

Additional specimen examined : Nord-Trondelag,<br />

Ascomata immersa, solum regionibus ostiolaribus<br />

liberis, circiter 100 pm diam., parietibus in<br />

partibus liberis colore fusco aeque in iis distributo<br />

tinctis, in partibus immersis pallidis vel<br />

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
