Notes<br />

Morphology<br />

Lineolata was monotypified by L. rhizophorae, whichwas<br />

originally introduced by Kohlmeyer and Kohlmeyer (1966)asa<br />

species of Didymosphaeria (as D. rhizophorae).Basedonthe<br />

morphology of ascomata and asci, Barr (1990a) assignedit<br />

under Lojkania (as L. rhizophorae). Kohlmeyer and Volkmann-<br />

Kohlmeyer (1990) restudied this species and noticed that the<br />

absence of clypeus, almost superficial ascomata, coloured<br />

peridium, a hamathecium with gelatinous matrix, asci with<br />

apical ring-like structure and the ornamented ascospores are<br />

quite different from the modified concept of Didymosphaeria.<br />

Thus they introduced Lineolata to accommodate D. rhizophorae<br />

(Kohlmeyer and Volkmann-Kohlmeyer 1990).<br />

Phylogenetic study<br />

Three isolates of Lineolata rhizophorae from varied geographic<br />

localities were analyzed by Suetrong et al. (2009)andshowntobe<br />

related to Caryosporella rhizophorae in Dothideomycetidae and<br />

excluded from Pleosporomycetidae and <strong>Pleosporales</strong>.<br />

Concluding remarks<br />

Based on initial molecular work it is likely that this species<br />

does not belong to <strong>Pleosporales</strong> in spite of its dense<br />

pseudoparaphyses and other characters shared with the order.<br />
