Fungal Diversity<br />
type of Julella needs confirmation following recollection.<br />
Julella avicenniae (Borse) K.D. Hyde is a marine fungus. A<br />
DNA based phylogeny containing most currently accepted<br />
families placed two isolates of J. avicenniae as sister to the<br />
families in the Pleosporineae with good support, which might<br />
suggest a novel family within <strong>Pleosporales</strong> (Suetrong et al.<br />
2009). However, J. avicenniae is not the generic type and<br />
therefore this conclusion must be treated with caution as only<br />
J. avicenniae can be considered pleosporalean.<br />
Lautitia S. Schatz, Can. J. Bot. 62: 31 (1984).<br />
Type species: Lautitia danica (Berl.) S. Schatz, Can. J. Bot.<br />
62: 31 (1984).<br />
≡ Leptosphaeria danica Berl., Icon. fung. (Abellini) 1:<br />
87 (1892).<br />
Lautitia is monotypified by L. danica, which is characterized<br />
by subglobose, immersed, ostiolate ascomata with a<br />
pseudoclypeus, a thin peridium, broad, cellular pseudoparaphyses,<br />
and 8-spored, bitunicate, cylindrical to clavate asci.<br />
Ascospores are hyaline, 1-septate, and obovate and the fungus<br />
is parasitic on algae (Schatz 1984). Marine or maritime fungi<br />
have been reported in Phaeosphaeria, suchasP. spartinae<br />
(Ellis & Everh.) Shoemaker & C.E. Babc. and P. ammophilae<br />
(Lasch) Kohlm. & E. Kohlm. (Zhang et al. 2009a). In<br />
addition, the prosenchymatous peridium of L. danica agrees<br />
with that of Phaeosphaeriaceae (Schatz 1984).<br />
Lepidosphaeria Parg.-Leduc, C. r. hebd. Séanc. Acad. Sci.,<br />
Paris, Sér. D 270: 2786 (1970).<br />
Type species: Lepidosphaeria nicotiae Parg.-Leduc, Pubbl.<br />
Staz. Zool. Napoli, 1 270: 2786 (1970).<br />
Lepidosphaeria is a genus likely in Testudinaceae, which<br />
is distinguished from other genera of this family by its<br />
smaller ascospores, which lack furrows, and have minute<br />
granulate ornamentation (Hawksworth 1979). In DNA<br />
sequence-based phylogenies, L. nicotiae clustered with<br />
species of Ulospora and Verruculina (Schoch et al. 2009;<br />
Zhang et al. 2009a), but more recent work including<br />
species of Platystomaceae lacks support (Plate 1).<br />
Letendraea Sacc., Michelia 2: 73 (1880).<br />
Type species: Letendraea eurotioides Sacc., Michelia 2: 73<br />
(1880).<br />
Letendraea was introduced for L. eurotioides, which is<br />
characterized by superficial, globose to conical ascomata,<br />
filliform pseudoparaphyses, obclavate to cylindrical, 8-<br />
spored asci, and fusoid to oblong, 1-septate ascospores<br />
(Saccardo 1880). Because L. helminthicola (Berk. &<br />
Broome) Weese clustered with Karstenula rhodostoma,<br />
Letendraea was assigned to Melanommataceae (Kodsueb<br />
et al. 2006b). But subsequent multigene phylogenetic<br />
analysis indicated that both L. helminthicola and L. padouk<br />
Nicot & Parg.-Leduc nested within Montagnulaceae<br />
(Schoch et al. 2009; Zhang et al. 2009a; Plate 1), and its<br />
familial status seems confirmed.<br />
Lindgomyces K. Hirayama, Kaz. Tanaka & Shearer,<br />
Mycologia 102: 133 (2010).<br />
Type species: Lindgomyces ingoldianus (Shearer & K.D.<br />
Hyde) K. Hirayama, Kaz. Tanaka & Shearer, Mycologia<br />
102: 733 (2010).<br />
≡ Massarina ingoldiana Shearer & K.D. Hyde, Mycologia<br />
89: 114 (1997).<br />
Lindgomyces was introduced to accommodate a freshwater<br />
lineage, which belongs to Massarina ingoldiana sensu lato,<br />
and is characterized by scattered, subglobose to globose,<br />
erumpent, papillate, ostiolate ascomata, cellular pseudoparaphyses,<br />
and 8-spored, fissitunicate, cylindrical to clavate<br />
asci. Ascospores are fusoid to narrowly fusoid, hyaline and 1-<br />
septate but become 3–5-septate when senescent (Hirayama et<br />
al. 2010). A new family, Lindgomycetaceae, wasintroduced<br />
to accommodate Lindgomyces (Hirayama et al. 2010).<br />
Lophiella Sacc., Michelia 1: 337 (1878).<br />
Type species: Lophiella cristata (Pers.) Sacc., Michelia 1:<br />
337 (1878).<br />
≡ Sphaeria cristata Pers., Syn. meth. fung. (Göttingen)<br />
1: 54 (1801).<br />
The generic type of Lophiella, L. cristata, was treated as<br />
a synonym of Lophiostoma angustilabrum var. crenatum<br />
(Pers.) Chesters & A.E. Bell (see http://www.indexfungorum.<br />
org/names/Names.asp).<br />
Loratospora Kohlm. & Volkm.-Kohlm., Syst. Ascom. 12:<br />
10 (1993).<br />
Type species: Loratospora aestuarii Kohlm. & Volkm.-<br />
Kohlm., Syst. Ascom. 12: 10 (1993).<br />
Loratospora was introduced as a marine genus and is<br />
monotypified by L. aestuarii (Kohlmeyer and Volkmann-<br />
Kohlmeyer 1993). The generic type is characterized by<br />
ellipsoid, immersed to erumpent, carbonaceous ascomata,<br />
which are ostiolate, and with or without a papilla. Pseudoparaphyses<br />
comprise small subglobose cells forming irregular<br />
chains and finally breaking apart, and asci are 8-spored,<br />
clavate to ellipsoidal, and fissitunicate. Ascospores are<br />
hyaline, cylindrical, 3-septate and surrounded by a mucilaginous<br />
sheath (Kohlmeyer and Volkmann-Kohlmeyer 1993).<br />
The distinctive pseudoparaphyses of Loratospora aestuarii<br />
makes it readily distinguishable from other taxa. Based on a<br />
multigene phylogenetic analysis, Loratospora aestuarii nested<br />
within the clade of Phaeosphaeriaceae (Schoch et al. 2009;<br />
Suetrong et al. 2009; Plate 1), and ascospores of L. aestuarii<br />
are in agreement with those of Phaeosphaeria as has been<br />
mentioned by Kohlmeyer and Volkmann-Kohlmeyer (1993).<br />
