Type species<br />
Neomassariosphaeria typhicola (P. Karst.) Yin. Zhang, J.<br />
Fourn. & K.D. Hyde, Stud. Mycol. 64: 96 (2009a). (Fig. 65)<br />
≡ Leptosphaeria typhicola P. Karst., Bidr. Känn. Finl.<br />
Nat. Folk 23: 100 (1873).<br />
Ascomata 150–280 μm high×200–400 μm diam.,<br />
scattered or in small groups, immersed, lenticular, with a<br />
slightly protruding elongated papilla, ostiolate, stain the<br />
substrate purple (Fig. 65a). Peridium 15–30 μm thick.<br />
Hamathecium of dense, long cellular pseudoparaphyses,<br />
1.5–2.5 μm thick, septate. Asci 110–160×13–15 μm, 8-<br />
spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, cylindro-clavate, with short<br />
furcate pedicels (Fig. 65b, c and d). Ascospores 30–48×7–<br />
11 μm, 2-3-seriate, narrowly fusoid, somewhat curved,<br />
reddish brown, 7-septate, slightly constricted at the primary<br />
septum, verruculose (Fig. 65c and d).<br />
Anamorph: none reported.<br />

Notes<br />
Morphology<br />
Neomassariosphaeria is most comparable with Murispora,<br />
and is distinguished from Murispora by its phragmosporous<br />
ascospores. Both genera were assigned to<br />
Amniculicolaceae (Zhang et al. 2009a).<br />
Phylogenetic study<br />
Both Neomassariosphaeria grandispora and N. typhicola<br />
clustered with species of Murispora and Amniculicola in<br />
Amniculicolaceae (Zhang et al. 2009a,c).<br />
Concluding remarks<br />
Similar with those purple-staining species of<br />
Pleospora assigned to Murispora, the purple-staining<br />
species of Phaeosphaeria mentioned by Crivelli<br />
(1983) and Leuchtmann (1984) might be assigned to<br />
Neomassariosphaeria.<br />
