The <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> acutatum <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>to iron grey, growth rate 19–21 mm in 7 d (29–32.5 mm in 10 d).Conidia in mass whitish to pale salmon.Material examined: P<strong>or</strong>tugal, Mirandela, T<strong>or</strong>re de D. Chama, from anthracnose onfruit of Olea europaea, Dec. 2003, P. Talhinhas (<strong>CBS</strong> H-20724 holotype, cultureex-type <strong>CBS</strong> 129953 = PT250). USA, Washington, Long Beach, from Vacciniummacrocarpon, 1993, Carris, culture <strong>CBS</strong> 131322 = DAOM 233523.Notes: Talhinhas et al. (2005, 2009, 2011) found a diverse range ofC. acutatum isolates from olive fruit with anthracnose symptoms inP<strong>or</strong>tugal. One of these strains, PT250 (=<strong>CBS</strong> 129953) was foundto be significantly divergent from other groups within C. acutatumbased on ITS and beta-tubulin sequences, and was placed in thenew clade A6. Talhinhas’s olive strain here f<strong>or</strong>ms the type of C.rhombif<strong>or</strong>me. A second strain that we identified as C. rhombif<strong>or</strong>meand included here was isolated from Vaccinium macrocarpon(American cranberry) in the USA, and was studied by Robideauet al. (2008). Further representatives of this clade are likely to besome of those isolated from Rhododendron in Sweden and Latvia(strains S2, L3, L4, L5, L6) by Vinnere et al. (2002) that wererep<strong>or</strong>ted to belong to clade A6 by Sreenivasaprasad & Talhinhas(2005) based on ITS sequencing. Since ITS does not distinguishbetween all <strong>species</strong>, sequences of additional genes would benecessary to confirm this placement.A variety of Glomerella rufomaculans, Ga. rufomaculans var.vaccinii Shear was described from leaves of Vaccinium macrocarponin New Jersey, USA with conidia and ascosp<strong>or</strong>es that agree insize with C. rhombif<strong>or</strong>me. Its conidia were described as oblongcylindric,subclavate, sometimes slightly curved (Shear 1907).The variety was wrongly listed as Ga. fructigena var. vaccinii inSylloge Fung<strong>or</strong>um (Saccardo & Trotter 1913); MycoBank and IndexFung<strong>or</strong>um list this taxon as separate <strong>species</strong>, Ga. rufomaculansvacciniiShear, MycoBank also as Ga. rufomaculansvaccinii(<strong>or</strong>thographic variant) and additionally as Ga. fructigena var.vaccinii. However a strain (<strong>CBS</strong> 124.22) deposited 1922 in the <strong>CBS</strong>collection by L.C. Shear as Ga. rufomaculans var. vaccinii is lackinghost inf<strong>or</strong>mation and belongs to the C. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides <strong>complex</strong>(Weir et al. 2012, this issue).<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> rhombif<strong>or</strong>me is closely related to C. acerbum, C.australe, C. kingh<strong>or</strong>nii and C. ph<strong>or</strong>mii, which together f<strong>or</strong>m a sisterclade to C. salicis. In this study, only strains of C. rhombif<strong>or</strong>me andC. salicis f<strong>or</strong>med sexual m<strong>or</strong>phs in culture. The ascosp<strong>or</strong>es of thetwo <strong>species</strong> have the same size, but differ in shape. Additionally,conidia of C. salicis f<strong>or</strong>med on SNA are smaller than those of C.rhombif<strong>or</strong>me, and conidia of C. rhombif<strong>or</strong>me f<strong>or</strong>med on Anthriscusstem are sometimes ellipsoidal <strong>or</strong> limonif<strong>or</strong>m while those of C.salicis are unif<strong>or</strong>mly cylindrical.<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> rhombif<strong>or</strong>me is separated from other <strong>species</strong> byall sequences studied except the CHS-1 sequence, which is thesame as that of C. acerbum. It can best be identified with TUB2and ITS. The closest match in a blastn search with the TUB2sequence of <strong>CBS</strong> 129953 with 100 % identity was AJ748624,the sequence generated from the same isolate by Talhinhas etal. (2005), all other isolates showed ≤ 97 % sequence identity.With the GAPDH sequence there was no closer match than 88% identity. Closest matches with the ITS sequence (with 100 %identity) were AJ749700 from isolate PT250 (= <strong>CBS</strong> 129953)(Talhinhas et al. 2005), AF411704, AF411706, AF411707 andAF411719 from Rhododendron isolates L3, L5, L6, S2 from Latviaand Sweden (Vinnere et al. 2002) and with 99 % identity (1 bpdifference) AF411705 from Rhododendron isolate L4 (Vinnere etal. 2002) and EF672241 from Vaccinium isolate DAOM 233253 (=<strong>CBS</strong> 131322, the other isolate of C. rhombif<strong>or</strong>me included in thisstudy) (Robideau et al. 2008).<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> salicis (Fuckel) Damm, P.F.
