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 />

Material examined: DENMARK, Sjaeland, Frederikskilde,<br />

submerged culm of Phragmites, leg. & det. Jacques Fournier<br />

(IFRD 2018).<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 />

Neophaeosphaeria M.P.S. Câmara, M.E. Palm & A.W.<br />

Ramaley, Mycol. Res. 107: 519 (2003). (Leptosphaeriaceae)
