Dichocladosporium gen. nov. Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Moldova, Pol<strong>and</strong>, Romania, Switzerl<strong>and</strong>, U.K., Ukraine), North America (Canada, U.S.A.), New Zeal<strong>and</strong>. Notes: Type material of Periconia chlorocephala is not preserved in the herbarium of G. Fresenius at FR (Forschungsinstitut Senkenberg, Frankfurt a. M., Germany). Hence, a new specimen collected in the Botanical Garden of the Martin-Luther-University Halle (Saale), Germany, is proposed to serve as neotype. A culture derived from this collection is deposited at the <strong>CBS</strong>, Utrecht, the Netherl<strong>and</strong>s as ex-neotype culture. A leaf-blotch sample, also collected in the Botanical Garden at Halle (Saale), from which we also derived a living culture, is designated as representative of the synanamorph, <strong>Cladosporium</strong> paeoniae. Both cultures have been used to generate DNA sequence data. <strong>The</strong> two stages (morphs) of this fungus are usually ecologically <strong>and</strong> seasonally separated, but sometimes conidiophores of the leaf-blotching (cladosporioid) morph also occur on dead stems of peony intermixed with the macronematous conidiophores of the periconioid morph. In culture conidiophore <strong>and</strong> conidial width tends to be narrower than on the natural substratum, <strong>and</strong> the conidia are not as frequently septate. DISCUSSION Cultural studies by ourselves <strong>and</strong> McKemy & Morgan-Jones (1991), <strong>and</strong> molecular sequence analyses documented herein clearly demonstrate that <strong>Cladosporium</strong> chlorocephalum, occurring on necrotic stems, <strong>and</strong> C. paeoniae, causing leaf-blotch symptoms on living leaves of Paeonia spp., are two synanamorphs of a single species, which has to be excluded from <strong>Cladosporium</strong> s. str. since the conidiogenous loci are quite distinct from the characteristically coronate scars in the latter <strong>genus</strong> <strong>and</strong> because ITS sequences indicate clear separation from <strong>Cladosporium</strong> s. str. Analysis of the morphology <strong>and</strong> conidiogenesis showed that the macronematous stage of this fungus (C. chlorocephalum, the periconioid morph) closely resembles Metulocladosporiella, recently introduced for the <strong>Cladosporium</strong> speckle disease of banana. <strong>The</strong>re are, however, some differences. In Metulocladosporiella musae (E.W. Mason) Crous et al., the type species, micronematous conidiophores occur in vitro <strong>and</strong> in vivo, <strong>and</strong> macronematous conidiophores occur on leaf-spots, whereas in C. chlorocephalum the semi-macronematous conidiophores usually accompany leaf-blotch symptoms on living leaves <strong>and</strong> the macronematous conidiophores occur in saprobic growth on old necrotic stems. Rhizoid hyphae arising from the swollen basal cells of the macronematous conidiophores are characteristic for M. musae, but lacking in C. chlorocephalum, <strong>and</strong> the conidia in the latter species are 0–5-septate, but only 0(–1)-septate in M. musae. <strong>The</strong> semimacronematous, leaf-blotching stage (the cladosporioid morph) is barely distinguishable from the present concept of Fusicladium, which includes species with catenate conidia (Schubert et al. 2003). However, the peony fungus does not cluster within the Venturiaceae. Since C. chlorocephalum clusters apart of the Chaetothyriales, the clade to which Metulocladosporiella belongs, the differences observed here seem to be sufficient to place this fungus in a new <strong>genus</strong> (also see Crous et al. 2007 – this volume). Crous et al. (2006a) discussed differences between Metulocladosporiella <strong>and</strong> allied <strong>dematiaceous</strong> hyphomycete genera <strong>and</strong> provided a key to the latter <strong>genus</strong> <strong>and</strong> morphologically <strong>similar</strong> genera. Using this key, attempts to determine the macronematous morph of <strong>Cladosporium</strong> www.studiesinmycology.org chlorocephalum lead to Metulocladosporiella. Differences between morphologically <strong>similar</strong> genera have been discussed in the paper by Crous et al. (2006a) <strong>and</strong> are also valid for the new <strong>genus</strong> Dichocladosporium. Parapericoniella U. Braun, Heuchert & K. Schub., a fungicolous <strong>genus</strong> recently introduced to accommodate <strong>Cladosporium</strong> asterinae Deighton, is also morphologically <strong>similar</strong> in having apically, densely branched conidiophores <strong>and</strong> truncate, unthickened conidiogenous loci <strong>and</strong> hila, but is quite distinct in not having micronematous conidiophores (Heuchert et al. 2005).
