Fungal Diversity<br />

Paraphaeosphaeria O.E. Erikss., Ark. Bot., Ser. 2 6: 405<br />

(1967).<br />

Type species: Paraphaeosphaeria michotii (Westend.) O.E.<br />

Erikss., Cryptogams of the Himalayas 6: 405 (1967).<br />

≡ Sphaeria michotii Westend., Bull. Acad. R. Sci. Belg.,<br />

Cl. Sci., sér. 2 7: 87 (1859).<br />

Paraphaeosphaeria was separated from Leptosphaeria<br />

(Eriksson 1967a), and it is also quite comparable with<br />

Phaeosphaeria. Paraphaeosphaeria can be distinguished<br />

from Phaeosphaeria by its ascospores. Ascospores of Paraphaeosphaeria<br />

michotii have two septa, and they are biseriate,<br />

straight, subcylindrical with broadly rounded ends, rather dark<br />

brown and punctate. The primary septum is laid down closer<br />

to the distal end than to the proximal, and the larger, proximal<br />

hemispore is divided by one transversal septum. There are<br />

more septa in the proximal hemispore of other species such as<br />

Par. castagnei (Durieu & Mont.) O.E. Erikss., Par. obtusispora<br />

(Speg.) O.E. Erikss. and Par. vectis (Berk. & Broome)<br />

Hedjar. Anamorphic characters can also distinguish Paraphaeosphaeria<br />

and Phaeosphaeria. Paraphaeosphaeria has<br />

Paraconiothyrium or Coniothyrium-related anamorphs, but<br />

Phaeosphaeria has Hendersonia-Phaeoseptoria anamorphs<br />

(Eriksson 1967a). Shoemaker and Babcock (1985) redescribed<br />

some Canadian and extralimital species, and excluded<br />

Par. longispora (Wegelin) Crivelli and Par. oblongata<br />

(Niessl) Crivelli from Paraphaeosphaeria based on their<br />

longitudinal septa as well as beak-like papilla and wall<br />

structures. Molecular phylogenetic results based on multigenes<br />

indicated that Paraphaeosphaeria should belong to<br />

Montagnulaceae (Zhang et al. 2009a; Plate 1).<br />

Passeriniella Berl., Icon. fung. (Abellini) 1: 51 (1890).<br />

Type species: Passeriniella dichroa (Pass.) Berl., Icon.<br />

fung. (Abellini) 1: 51 (1890).<br />

≡ Leptosphaeria dichroa Pass.<br />

Passeriniella was introduced by Berlese in 1890 based on<br />

the black, ostiolate and papillate ascomata, 8-spored asci, as<br />

well as transverse septate ascospores, with pigmented central<br />

cells and hyaline terminal cells. Two species were included, i.<br />

e. P. dichroa and P. incarcerata (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Berl.<br />

(Berlese 1890). Subsequently, more species were introduced<br />

including some marine taxa such as P. mangrovei G.L. Maria<br />

&K.R.Sridhar,P. obiones (P. Crouan & H. Crouan) K.D.<br />

Hyde & Mouzouras and P. savoryellopsis K.D. Hyde &<br />

Mouzouras (Hyde and Mouzouras 1988; Maria and Sridhar<br />

2002). Currently, eight species are included (http://www.<br />

mycobank.org, Jan. 2011). Both P. dichroa and P. incarcerata<br />

were considered as synonyms of Leptosphaeria obiones<br />

(P. Crouan & H. Crouan) Sacc. (Kohlmeyer and Kohlmeyer<br />

1979). The familial placement of the marine species P.<br />

savoryellopsis could not be resolved in a DNA based<br />

phylogeny but it did suggest a close relationship to<br />

Acrocordiopsis patilii (Suetrong et al. 2009) in<strong>Pleosporales</strong>.<br />

Peridiothelia D. Hawksw., Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist., Bot.<br />

14: 120 (1985).<br />

Type species: Peridiothelia fuliguncta (Norman) D.<br />

Hawksw., Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist., Bot. 14: 121 (1985).<br />

≡ Microthelia fuliguncta Norman, Öfvers. kongl.<br />

Svensk. Vetensk.-Akad. Förhandl., Stockholm 41(no. 8):<br />

36 (1884).<br />

When dealing with the names under Microthelia, Peridiothelia<br />

was introduced to accommodate species having nonclypeate<br />

peridium which composed cells of textura globulosa<br />

but sometimes angularis, “dark reddish brown except<br />

below the generative locule where the wall is poorly<br />

developed or almost absent at maturity, colour not changed<br />

significantly in potassium hydroxide, centrum turning blue in<br />

iodine” (Hawksworth 1985a). Three species were included, i.<br />

e. P. grandiuscula (Anzi) D. Hawksw., P. fuliguncta and P.<br />

oleae (Körb.) D. Hawksw., and Peridiothelia was referred to<br />

Phaeosphaeriaceae (Hawksworth 1985a, b). However, its<br />

familial placement is not confirmed yet.<br />

Phaeodothis Syd. & P. Syd., Annls mycol. 2: 166 (1904).<br />

Type species: Phaeodothis tricuspidis Syd. & P. Syd.,<br />

Annls mycol. 2: 166 (1904).<br />

Phaeodothis is characterized by its 1-septate euseptate<br />

ascospores with a sparse hamathecium consisting of thin<br />

pseudoparaphyses and immersed to superficial ascomata<br />

(Aptroot 1995).Thegenushadbeenpreviouslyassignedto<br />

Didymosphaeria, butAptroot(1995) consideredittobeclosely<br />

related to Phaeosphaeriaceae. A strain named Phaeodothis<br />

winteri (a synonym of P. tricuspidis Syd. & P. Syd.) nested<br />

within the clade of Montagnulaceae (Schoch et al. 2009).<br />

Platychora Petr., Annls mycol. 23: 102 (1925).<br />

Type species: Platychora ulmi (Schleich.) Petr., Annls<br />

mycol. 23(1/2): 103 (1925).<br />

Platychora is characterized by immersed to erumpent crustlike<br />

ascostroma with globose locules scattered inside (Barr<br />

1968). Asci are oblong to saccate or nearly cylindrical and<br />

bitunicate, and ascospores are hyaline 1-septate apiosporous<br />

and turn olivaceous when old. Platychora hadbeenpreviously<br />

assigned to Venturiaceae by Barr (1968), but molecular<br />

phylogenetic analysis indicated that a strain named Platychora<br />

ulmi (the generic type of Platychora) belongs to Didymellaceae<br />

(Winton et al. 2007; Plate 1). The generic type needs<br />

recollecting and epitypifying to stabilize the generic name.<br />

Platystomum Trevis., Bull. Soc. R. Bot. Belg. 16: 16 (1877).<br />

Type species: Platystomum compressum (Pers.) Trevis.,<br />

Bull. Soc. R. Bot. Belg. 16: 16 (1877).<br />

≡ Sphaeria compressa Pers., Syn. meth. fung. (Göttingen)<br />

1: 56 (1801).<br />

Platystomum was introduced by Trevisan in 1877, and<br />

has been considered a synonym of Lophidium, as the
