Crous, p.crous@cbs.knaw.nl Abstract: Although morphologically <strong>similar</strong>, species of Cladophialophora (Herpotrichiellaceae) were shown to be phylogenetically distinct from Pseudocladosporium (Venturiaceae), which was revealed to be synonymous with the older <strong>genus</strong>, Fusicladium. Other than being associated with human disorders, species of Cladophialophora were found to also be phytopathogenic, or to occur as saprobes on organic material, or in water, fruit juices, or sports drinks, along with species of Exophiala. Caproventuria <strong>and</strong> Metacoleroa were confirmed to be synonyms of Venturia, which has Fusicladium (= Pseudocladosporium) anamorphs. Apiosporina, based on A. collinsii, clustered basal to the Venturia clade, <strong>and</strong> appears to represent a further synonym. Several species with a pseudocladosporium-like morphology in vitro represent a sister clade to the Venturia clade, <strong>and</strong> are unrelated to Polyscytalum. <strong>The</strong>se taxa are newly described in Fusicladium, which is morphologically close to Anungitea, a heterogeneous <strong>genus</strong> with unknown phylogenetic affinity. In contrast to the Herpotrichiellaceae, which were shown to produce numerous synanamorphs in culture, species of the Venturiaceae were morphologically <strong>and</strong> phylogenetically more uniform. Several new species <strong>and</strong> new combinations were introduced in Cladophialophora, Cyphellophora (Herpotrichiellaceae), Exophiala, Fusicladium, Venturia (Venturiaceae), <strong>and</strong> Cylindrosympodium (incertae sedis).

Key words: Anungitea, Anungitopsis, Cladophialophora, Exophiala, Fusicladium, phylogeny, Pseudocladosporium, systematics, Venturia. Introduction Species of Cladophialophora Borelli are relatively simple hyphomycetes with brown hyphae that give rise to branched chains of pale brown conidia. Phylogenetically they are defined to belong to the Chaetothyriales (Haase et al. 1999, Untereiner 2000), an order containing numerous opportunists (de Hoog et al. 2000); teleomorph relationships are with Capronia Sacc. in the Herpotrichiellaceae. In several cases cladophialophora-like synanamorphs are found accompanying black yeasts of the <strong>genus</strong> Exophiala J.W. Carmich. (de Hoog et al. 1995). Braun & Feiler (1995) placed several saprobic hyphomycetes in Cladophialophora, <strong>and</strong> described Capronia hanliniana U. Braun & Feiler as teleomorph of Cladophialophora brevicatenata U. Braun & Feiler. This work was continued by Dugan et al. (1995), who described an additional teleomorph, Capronia hystrioides Dugan, R.G. Roberts & Hanlin for Cladophialophora hachijoensis (Matsush.) U. Braun & Feiler. Untereiner (1997) reduced Capronia hystrioides to synonymy with C. hanliniana, <strong>and</strong> placed them in Venturia Sacc. (Venturiaceae, Pleosporales). <strong>The</strong> concept of Cladophialophora hachijoensis, which is based on Phaeoramularia hachijoensis Matsush. (Matsushima 1975) is confused, however, <strong>and</strong> phylogenetic studies have revealed that isolates attributed to this name in recent studies, were in fact representatives of three different species in phylogenetically distinct genera (Braun et al. 2003). <strong>The</strong> separation of Cladophialophora with Capronia teleomorphs (Herpotrichiellaceae, Chaetothyriales; commonly isolated as human pathogens), from predominantly saprobic or phytopathogenic isolates in the Dothideomycetes was recognised by Braun (1998). Recently the cactus endophyte Cladophialophora yegresii de Hoog was reported to be the nearest neighbour of C. carrionii (Trejos) de Hoog et al., a major agent of human chromoblastomycosis (de Hoog et al. 2007), so that the main distinction between the two anamorph genera remains in their phylogenetic positions. Capronia hanliniana <strong>and</strong> C. hystrioides were again recognised as distinct species, <strong>and</strong> placed in a new <strong>genus</strong>, Caproventuria U. Braun (Venturiaceae), while their anamorphs were accommodated in Pseudocladosporium U. Braun. Caproventuria was primarily distinguished from Venturia based on its distinct Pseudocladosporium anamorphs. Recently, Crous et al. (2007b) introduced a third <strong>genus</strong>, namely Sympoventuria Crous & Seifert, which produces a sympodiella-like anamorph in culture. To complicate matters further, Beck et al. (2005) concluded, based on an ITS DNA phylogeny, that the morphology attributed to the form genera Spilocaea Fr., Pollaccia E. Bald. & Cif., <strong>and</strong> Fusicladium Bonord. has evolved several times within Venturia, <strong>and</strong> that a single anamorph <strong>genus</strong> should be used for Venturia, namely Fusicladium (see Schubert et al. 2003 for additional generic synonyms). In their treatment of Venturia anamorphs, Schubert et al. (2003) excluded Pseudocladosporium, <strong>and</strong> stated that its status needs to be confirmed along with that of other genera such as Anungitea B. Sutton, Fusicladium <strong>and</strong> Polyscytalum Riess. In the study by Beck et al. (2005) an isolate of Caproventuria hystrioides (Pseudocladosporium sp.) was included to confirm the link to the Venturiaceae, though this was not well resolved, nor was the status of the older generic names mentioned above addressed. 185
