Fungal Diversity<br />

Montagnulaceae<br />

Montagnula has an Aschersonia anamorph, and Kalmusia<br />

and Paraphaeosphaeria have Coniothyrium-like, Cytoplea,<br />

Microsphaeropsis and Paraconiothyrium anamorphs.<br />

The generic type of Paraphaeosphaeria (P. michotii) is<br />

linked with Coniothyrium scirpi Trail (Webster 1955). The<br />

Coniothyrium complex is highly polyphyletic, and was<br />

subdivided into four groups by Sutton (1980), viz.<br />

Coniothyrium, Microsphaeropsis, Cyclothyrium and Cytoplea.<br />

Paraconiothyrium was introduced to accommodate<br />

Coniothyrium minitans W.A. Campb. and C. sporulosum<br />

(W. Gams & Domsch) Aa, which are closely related to<br />

Paraphaeosphaeria based on 18S rDNA sequences phylogeny<br />

(Verkley et al. 2004).<br />

Morosphaeriaceae<br />

Based on the multigene phylogenetic analysis in this<br />

study, Asteromassaria is tentatively included in Morosphaeriaceae.<br />

Asteromassaria macrospora is linked with<br />

Scolicosporium macrosporium (Berk.) B. Sutton, which is<br />

hyphomycetous. No anamorphic stages have been reported<br />

for other species of Morosphaeriaceae.<br />

Trematosphaeriaceae<br />

Three species from three different genera were included<br />

in Trematosphaeriaceae, i.e. Falciformispora lignatilis,<br />

Halomassarina thalassiae and Trematosphaeria pertusa<br />

(Suetrong et al. data unpublished; Plate 1). Of these, only<br />

Trematosphaeria pertusa, the generic type of Trematosphaeria,<br />

produces hyphopodia-like structures on agar<br />

(Zhang et al. 2008a).<br />

Other families of <strong>Pleosporales</strong><br />

Amniculicolaceae<br />

Three anamorphic species nested within the clade of<br />

Amniculicolaceae, i.e. Anguillospora longissima (Sacc. &<br />

P. Syd.) Ingold, Repetophragma ontariense (Matsush.) W.<br />

P. Wu and Spirosphaera cupreorufescens Voglmayr<br />

(Zhang et al. 2009a). Sivanesan (1984, p.500)described<br />

the teleomorphic stage of Anguillospora longissima as<br />

Massarina sp. II, which fits the diagnostic characters of<br />

Amniculicola well. Thus this taxon may be another species of<br />

Amniculicola.<br />

Hypsostromataceae<br />

A Pleurophomopsis-like anamorph is reported in the<br />

subiculum of the generic type of Hypsostroma (H. saxicola<br />

Huhndorf) (Huhndorf 1992).<br />

Lophiostomataceae<br />

The concept of Lophiostomataceae was also narrowed,<br />

and presently contains only Lophiostoma (Zhang et al.<br />

2009a). Leuchtmann (1985) studied cultures of some<br />

Lophiostoma species, and noticed that L. caulium (Fr.)<br />

Ces. & De Not., L. macrostomum, L. semiliberum (Desm.)<br />

Ces. & De Not., Lophiostoma sp. and Lophiotrema nucula<br />

produced Pleurophomopsis anamorphic stages, which are<br />

similar to those now in Melanomma (Chesters 1938), but<br />

Lophiostoma and Melanomma has no proven phylogenetic<br />

relationship (Zhang et al. 2009a, b; Plate 1). Species of<br />

Aposphaeria have also been reported in Massariosphaeria<br />

(Farr et al. 1989; Leuchtmann 1984), but the polyphyletic<br />

nature of Massariosphaeria is well documented (Wang et<br />

al. 2007).<br />

Melanommataceae<br />

The anamorphs of the Melanommataceae are mostly<br />

coelomycetous and rarely hyphomycetous with various<br />

ontogenic structures, such as annellidic or sympodial for<br />

hyphomycetes (Exosporiella and Pseudospiropes) and<br />

coelomycetes (Aposphaeria-like and Pyrenochaeta).<br />

Herpotrichia is reported as having a Pyrenochaeta<br />

anamorphic stage with or without seta on the surface of<br />

pycnidia (Sivanesan 1984). Aposphaeria and Phoma-like<br />

have been reported in Melanomma species (Chesters<br />

1938; Sivanesan 1984). Similarly, the anamorphs of<br />

Karstenula are reported as coelomycetous, i.e. Microdiplodia<br />

(Constantinescu 1993). The anamorphic stage of<br />

Anomalemma is Exosporiella (Sivanesan 1983), and that<br />

of Byssosphaeria is Pyrenochaeta (Barr 1984). Ohleria<br />

brasiliensis Starbäck has been linked with Monodictys<br />

putredinis (Wallr.) S. Hughes (Samuels 1980). Astrosphaeriella<br />

is a contentious genus as its familial status is<br />

not determined yet. Here we temporarily assigned it under<br />

Melanommataceae, which is linked with the anamorph<br />

genus Pleurophomopsis.<br />

Pleomassariaceae<br />

Shearia and Prosthemium are all anamorphs of Pleomassaria,<br />

andProsthemium betulinum is linked with the generic<br />

type of Pleomassaria (P. siparia) (Barr1982b; Sivanesan<br />

1984; Sutton 1980; Tanaka et al. 2010). Splanchnonema is a<br />

genus of Pleomassariaceae, the teleomorphic morphology of<br />

which is difficult to distinguish from two other genera, i.e.<br />

Asteromassaria and Pleomassaria, and the reported anamorphs<br />

of Splanchnonema are Ceuthodiplospora, Myxocyclus<br />

and Stegonsporium, which are comparable with those of<br />

Asteromassaria and Pleomassaria.<br />

Tetraplosphaeriaceae<br />

Tetraplosphaeriaceae was introduced to accommodate<br />

the Massarina-like bambusicolous fungi that produce<br />

Tetraploa sensu stricto anamorphs (Tanaka et al. 2009).<br />

Tetraploa aristata Berk. & Broome, the generic type of<br />

Tetraploa is widely distributed, associated with various
