Verkley 1021, holotype <strong>CBS</strong> H-21232, liv<strong>in</strong>g cultures ex-type <strong>CBS</strong>109017, 109018.Notes: Sphaerul<strong>in</strong>a tirolensis differs from another sep<strong>to</strong>ria-likefungus described on R. idaeus, viz. Rhabdospora rubi var. rubiidaeidescribed from stems of R. idaeus <strong>in</strong> Romania, with conidia(36–)40–50(–60) × 2(–2.5) µm. Demaree & Wilcox (1943) studiedSep<strong>to</strong>ria leaf-spot diseases of raspberry (R. idaeus) <strong>in</strong> NorthAmerica. Cyl<strong>in</strong>drosporium rubi, of which the sexual morph isSphaerul<strong>in</strong>a rubi cf. Demaree & Wilcox (1943), is also different.The sequences of the various prote<strong>in</strong>-cod<strong>in</strong>g genes fully supportSphaer. tirolensis as a separate <strong>species</strong> from the next taxon,Sphaer. westendorpii. The latter can be dist<strong>in</strong>guished from Sphaer.tirolensis by the smaller conidia <strong>in</strong> planta [24–45(–50) × 1.8–2.2µm] and also <strong>in</strong> culture [30–68(–80) × 1.5–2(–2.5) µm].Sphaerul<strong>in</strong>a westendorpii Verkley, Quaedvlieg & Crous,comb. et nom. nov.
