No. 8: The genera of the Parmulariaceae<br />
Carlos Antonio Inácio and Paul F. Cannon<br />
The genera of the<br />
Parmulariaceae<br />
Carlos Antonio Inácio<br />
and<br />
Paul F. Cannon<br />
The m<strong>or</strong>phologically variable family Parmulariaceae (Fungi, Ascomycota, Dothideomycetes) is widespread in the tropics.<br />
The family now includes 34 accepted genera, with 24 further synonyms, and m<strong>or</strong>e than 100 <strong>species</strong>. The study was<br />
<strong>or</strong>ganised using a suite of computer databases, focusing on nomenclatural, geographical (fl<strong>or</strong>istic) and bibliographic<br />
inf<strong>or</strong>mation. M<strong>or</strong>e than 1000 scientific names were considered, and m<strong>or</strong>e than 1100 rec<strong>or</strong>ds of individual observations of<br />
these fungi have been gathered. All genera are fully redescribed and illustrated with drawings and microphotographs. A<br />
new key f<strong>or</strong> identification of genera was constructed. A new f<strong>or</strong>mal taxonomic concept of the Parmulariaceae is introduced<br />
and two new genera Mintera and Viegasella have been re-described, Parmulariella is now included in the Parmulariaceae.<br />
Kentingia and Chaetaspis are now considered of uncertain family in the Dothideomycetes. The genus Apoa, previously<br />
placed as a synonym of Pachypatella, was found to be a distinct genus.<br />
196 pp., illustrated with 111 pictures including 15 colour plates (A4 f<strong>or</strong>mat). Hardbound, 2008. € 55<br />
No. 6: Alternaria An Identification Manual<br />
Em<strong>or</strong>y G. Simmons<br />
This book will fill a very large void in the scientific literature and it is quite certain that the volume will become the standard reference<br />
f<strong>or</strong> those needing to have critical access to Alternaria literature and taxonomic inf<strong>or</strong>mation. There are many scientists, both<br />
research and regulat<strong>or</strong>y, who are in desperate need of resources like this book to facilitate routine identification. M<strong>or</strong>e than<br />
1 100 published names are associated with taxa that must be considered in the Alternaria context. Of these, 276 <strong>species</strong><br />
with validly published names are maintained here as currently identifiable; these are keyed in the main text of the volume.<br />
An additional 16 named taxa, although requiring expanded inf<strong>or</strong>mation and comparison, also are accepted. A few <strong>species</strong><br />
that have been associated with the genus f<strong>or</strong> years but which now are considered anomolous in the genus have been<br />
removed to other genera. Chapters of <strong>species</strong> and genus characterisations are followed by a comprehensive list of all the<br />
nearly 1 200 names involved hist<strong>or</strong>ically with Alternaria taxonomy in the period 1796-2007. Each name is listed with its<br />
source, type, and an opinion on its validity and taxonomic disposition. A host index to all accepted <strong>species</strong> is followed by<br />
a comprehensive list of literature cited and a general index. Within the context of the manual, 88 names are assigned to<br />
newly described <strong>species</strong> and genera and to taxa whose epithets appear in new combinations.<br />

Atlas of Clinical Fungi CD-ROM version 3.1<br />
G.S. de Hoog, J. Guarro, J. Gené and M.J. Figueras (eds)<br />
A new electronic version of the 3rd edition is available since November 2011. It will allows fast and very comf<strong>or</strong>table search<br />
through the entire Atlas text the engine is fully equiped f<strong>or</strong> simple as well as advanced search. Items are strongly linked<br />
enabling direct use of the electronic version as a benchtool f<strong>or</strong> identification and comparison. Text boxes with concise<br />
definitions appear explaining all terminology while reading. Illustrations are of highest quality and viewers are provided f<strong>or</strong><br />
detailed observation. The Atlas is interactive in allowing personal annotation which will be maintained when later versions<br />
will be downloaded.<br />
The electronic version has been developed by T. Weniger. The third edition will contain about 530 clinically relevant<br />
<strong>species</strong>, following all maj<strong>or</strong> developments in fungal diagnostics. Regular electronic updates of the Atlas are planned, which<br />
should include numerous references to case rep<strong>or</strong>ts, as well as full data on antifungals. Future features will include links to<br />
extended databases with verified molecular inf<strong>or</strong>mation. Note: The Atlas runs on Windows only! Not compatible with Mac<br />
Atlas of Clinical Fungi version 3.1, interactive CD-ROM, 2011. € 105<br />
