The <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> acutatum <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong>Fig. 20. <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> nymphaea (from ex-epitype strain <strong>CBS</strong> 515.78). A–B. Conidiomata. C–G. Conidioph<strong>or</strong>es. H–M. Appress<strong>or</strong>ia. N–O. Conidia. A, C–D, N. from Anthriscusstem. B, E–M, O. from SNA. A–B. DM, C–O. DIC, Scale bars: A = 100 µm, C = 10 µm. Scale bar of A applies to A–B. Scale bar of C applies to C–O.polyphialidic, 10–20 × 3–4.5 µm, opening 1–2 µm diam, collarette0.5–1(–1.5) µm long, periclinal thickening visible, sometimesdistinct. Conidia hyaline, smooth-walled, aseptate, straight,cylindrical with one end round and one end slightly acute to round,(9–)12–17(–20) × (3.5–)4–4.5(–5) µm, mean ± SD = 14.5 ± 2.3 ×4.2 ± 0.3 µm, L/W ratio = 3.5.Culture characteristics: Colonies on SNA flat with entire margin,hyaline to pale honey, on filter paper and Anthriscus stem partlycovered with floccose-felty white aerial mycelium, reverse samecolours; growth 20.5–21.5 mm in 7 d (27.5–32 mm in 10 d). Colonieson OA flat with entire margin; surface buff, honey to saffron, partlycovered with floccose-felty white aerial mycelium and saffron toisabelline acervuli, reverse buff, honey to rosy buff; growth 22–24mm in 7 d (34–34.5 mm in 10 d). Conidia in mass saffron.Material examined: Brazil, from peel of fruit of Cucumis melo, unknown collect<strong>or</strong>and collection date (isolated by H.A. van der Aa, No. 9014 and deposited in <strong>CBS</strong>collection 1 Mar. 1984), (<strong>CBS</strong> H-20785 holotype, culture ex-type <strong>CBS</strong> 159.84).Notes: <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> melonis belongs to clade 1 of the C.acutatum <strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong> but occupies a distinct subclade thatis supp<strong>or</strong>ted by multiple genes. The sole strain that we are awareof has appress<strong>or</strong>ia with a significantly larger length/width ratio thanthose of C. lupini (mean L/W = 1.5 versus 1.2), the most frequentlyencountered <strong>species</strong> of clade 1. These appress<strong>or</strong>ia f<strong>or</strong>m singlyrather than in clusters.The pathogenicity of C. melonis is not known. This appears tobe the first rep<strong>or</strong>t of a <strong>Colletotrichum</strong> <strong>species</strong> from the C. acutatum<strong>species</strong> <strong>complex</strong> as an associate of cucurbits. There are variousrep<strong>or</strong>ts of disease caused by members of the C. boninense andC. gloeosp<strong>or</strong>ioides clades, but the principal cucurbit pathogensappear to be Glomerella magna and C. <strong>or</strong>biculare (von Arx & vander Velden 1961, Jenkins & Winstead 1964, Du et al. 2005, Hydeet al. 2009, Cannon et al. 2012, this issue).<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> melonis is separated from other <strong>species</strong> byGAPDH, ACT and HIS3 sequences, with GAPDH perf<strong>or</strong>ming best as adifferential gene, while the TUB2 sequence is the same as that of strainIMI 384185 (unnamed strain in clade 1). Closest matches in blastnsearch with the GAPDH sequence of strain <strong>CBS</strong> 159.84 (with 97 %identity, 6 bp differences) were EU168905, EU647318 and EU647319from sweet <strong>or</strong>ange (Peres et al. 2008, MacKenzie et al. 2009), whilethe closest published matches with the TUB2 sequence (with 99 %identity, 4 bp differences) were FN611029 and FN611028 from Citrusaurantifolia and Citrus sinensis from USA, Fl<strong>or</strong>ida (Ramos et al. 2006).The ITS sequence matched 100 % with EU008864–EU008866 fromMalus domestica in Brazil (Giaretta et al. 2010).<strong>Colletotrichum</strong> nymphaeae (Pass.)
