Freshwater fungi comprises a highly diverse group of organisms occurring in freshwater habitats throughout the world. During a survey of freshwater fungi on submerged wood in streams and lakes, a wide range of sexual and asexual species were collected mainly from karst regions in China and Thailand. Phylogenetic inferences using partial gene regions of LSU, ITS, SSU, TEF1α, and RPB2 sequences revealed that most of these fungi belonged to Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes and a few were related to Eurotiomycetes. Based on the morphology and multi-gene phylogeny, we introduce four new genera, viz. Aquabispora, Neocirrenalia, Ocellisimilis and Uvarisporella, and 47 new species, viz. Acrodictys chishuiensis, A. effusa, A. pyriformis, Actinocladium aquaticum, Annulatascus tratensis, Aquabispora setosa, Aqualignicola setosa, Aquimassariosphaeria vermiformis, Ceratosphaeria flava, Chaetosphaeria polygonalis, Conlarium muriforme, Digitodesmium chishuiense, Ellisembia aquirostrata, Fuscosporella atrobrunnea, Halobyssothecium aquifusiforme, H. caohaiense, Hongkongmyces aquisetosus, Kirschsteiniothelia dushanensis, Monilochaetes alsophilae, Mycoenterolobium macrosporum, Myrmecridium splendidum, Neohelicascus griseoflavus, Neohelicomyces denticulatus, Neohelicosporium fluviatile, Neokalmusia aquibrunnea, Neomassariosphaeria aquimucosa, Neomyrmecridium naviculare, Neospadicoides biseptata, Ocellisimilis clavata, Ophioceras thailandense, Paragaeumannomyces aquaticus, Phialoturbella aquilunata, Pleurohelicosporium hyalinum, Pseudodactylaria denticulata, P. longidenticulata, P. uniseptata, Pseudohalonectria aurantiaca, Rhamphoriopsis aquimicrospora, Setoseptoria bambusae, Shrungabeeja fluviatilis, Sporidesmium tratense, S. versicolor, Sporoschisma atroviride, Stanjehughesia aquatica, Thysanorea amniculi, Uvarisporella aquatica and Xylolentia aseptata, with an illustrated account, discussion of their taxonomic placement and comparison with morphological similar taxa. Seven new combinations are introduced, viz. Aquabispora grandispora (≡ Boerlagiomyces grandisporus), A. websteri (≡ Boerlagiomyces websteri), Ceratosphaeria suthepensis (≡ Pseudohalonectria suthepensis), Gamsomyces aquaticus (≡ Pseudobactrodesmium aquaticum), G. malabaricus (≡ Gangliostilbe malabarica), Neocirrenalia nigrospora (≡ Cirrenalia nigrospora), and Rhamphoriopsis glauca (≡ Chloridium glaucum). Ten new geographical records are reported in China and Thailand and nine species are first reported from freshwater habitats. Reference specimens are provided for Diplocladiella scalaroides and Neocirrenalia nigrospora (≡ Cirrenalia nigrospora). Systematic placement of the previously introduced genera Actinocladium, Aqualignicola, and Diplocladiella is first elucidated based on the reference specimens and new collections. Species recollected from China and Thailand are also described and illustrated. The overall trees of freshwater Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes collected in this study are provided respectively and genera or family/order trees are constructed for selected taxa.
... It closely resembles C. aquatica and C. costariensis. Still, it differs in ascomata (390-700 μm high vs. 400-600 μm high vs. 350-500 μm high), asci (110-180 × 15-25 μm vs. 180-250 × 13-16 μm vs. 135-186 × 13-16 μm) and ascospore size (35-60 × 6-8 μm vs. 36-51 × 4-6 μm vs. 40-49 × 4-5 μm) (Chaudhary et al. 2007;Catania et al. 2011). Furthermore, C. dulciaqaue (Fig. 147) has aseptate ascospores while C. aquatica has up to 5-septate ascospores after liberation from the ascus. ...
... Furthermore, C. dulciaqaue (Fig. 147) has aseptate ascospores while C. aquatica has up to 5-septate ascospores after liberation from the ascus. Immature ascospores of C. dulciaquae have bipolar appendages, but these are absent in C. costariensis (Catania et al. 2011). Based on the phylogenetic analysis of combined LSU and ITS sequence data, C. dulciaquae clustered with Zopfiella marina (CBS 155.77) with low bootstrap support (Fig. 148). ...

... Fig. 26 Notes: Cercophora is characterized by membranaceous to carbonaceous ascomata and ascospores with a swollen head and hyaline appendage(s) (Fuckel 1870). Chrysoporium, Cladorrhinum and Phialophora species have been published as the asexual morphs of Cercophora (Udagawa and Muroi 1979;von Arx 1981a;Ueda 1994;del Valle Catania et al. 2011). In this study, we found that Cercophora species are scattered in Lasiosphaeriaceae, Naviculisporaceae, Podosporaceae and Neoschizotheciaceae in Sordariales (Fig. 26). ...
Sordariomycetes is an earlier and one of the widely distributed class of Ascomycota. The class was initially classified based on morphology in having inoperculate and unitunicate asci. With the development of DNA based phylogenetic analysis, several undetermined or polyphyletic members of Sordariomycetes were reclassified. However, not all species belonging to this class have been sequenced and analyzed. There are a number of species, especially those old and poorly studied ones which have never been sequenced before and not even recollected again for further taxonomic verification. One of the main objective in this study is to revise and update the taxonomy of several well-known old and poorly studied species whose classification are still obscure. Herein, we re-examined the type materials and/or authentic specimens together to explore 74 relatively poorly-studied genera, which mainly belong to Boliniales, Calosphaeriales, Chaetosphaeriales, Jobellisiales, and Sordariales classified under Diaporthomycetidae and Sordariomycetidae. We provide descriptions, notes, figures and/or drawings and discussed their phylogenetic relationships. As a result, the monotypic Jobellisiales is transferred from Hypocreomycetidae to Diaporthomycetidae. Based on phylogenetic analysis, the polyphyletic Lasiosphaeriaceae is divided into five families, Bombardiaceae ( Apodospora , Bombardia , Bombardioidea and Fimetariella ), Lasiosphaeriaceae ( Anopodium , Bellojisia , Corylomyces , Lasiosphaeria , Mammaria and Zopfiella ), Lasiosphaeridaceae ( Lasiosphaeris ), Strattoniaceae ( Strattonia ) and Zygospermellaceae ( Episternus and Zygospermella ). In addition, a new family Neoschizotheciaceae is established based on Neoschizothecium . Analysis of the type species of Boothiella , Stellatospora , Sulcatistroma and Tengiomyces placed them in Sordariaceae, Chaetomiaceae, Hypocreales and Coronophorales, respectively. We classify the genera lacking molecular data based on their morphology and expect them to be recollected; that is, Kacosphaeria in Calosphaeriales; Arnium , Biconiosporella , Camptosphaeria , Diffractella , Emblemospora , Eosphaeria , Periamphispora , Ramophialophora , Synaptospora and Tripterosporella in Sordariales; Conidiotheca in Sordariomycetes; Copromyces , Effetia , Endophragmiella and Tulipispora are accommodated in Ascomycota. Besides, we establish a new genus Neoschizothecium based on phylogenetic analysis. New combinations proposed include: Camaropella amorpha , Cam . microspora , Cam . plana , Cladorrhinum grandiusculum , Cla . leucotrichum , Cla . terricola , Cla . olerum , Helminthosphaeria plumbea , Immersiella hirta , Jugulospora minor , Lasiosphaeris arenicola , Neoschizothecium aloides , Neo . carpinicola , Neo . conicum , Neo . curvisporum , Neo . fimbriatum , Neo . glutinans , Neo . inaequale , Neo . minicaudum , Neo . selenosporum , Neo . tetrasporum , Neurospora autosteira , Podospora brunnescens , P . flexuosa , P . jamaicensis , P . hamata , P . macrospora , P . spinosa , Strattonia petrogale and Triangularia microsclerotigena , T . nannopodalis , T . praecox , T . samala , T . tarvisina , T . unicaudata , T . yaeyamensis . New epithets are proposed for Apiorhynchostoma apiosporum and Podospora dacryoidea .

Evolutionary biogeography identifies areas of endemism and establishes their relationships with other areas, providing the information required to develop a hierarchical system of natural regionalization. The closely related geological and biological evolution of the planet is manifested in the existence of endemic biotas, as result of geographical and ecological barriers. The current challenge of evolutionary biogeography is to document the existence of biotas representing the evolutionary structure of ecosystems and their functionality, that could contribute to the establishment of conservation priorities. In this contribution, the fundamental characteristics of the biogeographic units of Argentina are described, and the respective maps are provided, as a general reference system for ecological, evolutionary and biogeographic studies, and in education and decision-making regarding conservation and sustainable use. For each biogeographic unit, we present its valid name and synonyms, its geographic location, distinctive characteristics, dominant landscape and vegetation types and its endemic species. Also, the typical landscapes and some endemic or characteristic species of each biogeographical unit are illustrated. Their biotic relationships, geobiotic evolution and regionalization to the district category are also discussed. In the scheme presented herein 16 provinces are recognized in the country, which in turn are grouped in the Neotropical region (Yungas, Parana, Araucaria Forest, Esteros del Iberá, Chaco and Pampean provinces), South American Transition Zone (Puna, Cuyan High Andean, Monte and Comechingones provinces) and Andean region (Patagonian, Maule, Valdivian Forest, Magellanic Forest, Falkland (Malvinas) Islands and Magellanic Moorland provinces). The Yungas province has three districts: Transition Forests, Montane Jungles, and Montane Forests. The Parana province includes the Campos and Mixed Forests districts. The Esteros del Iberá province stat. nov. includes three districts: Delta of Paraná stat. rev., Uruguay River stat. nov. and Paraná Flooded Savannas stat. nov. The Chaco province includes the Eastern Chacoan, Montane Chacoan stat. rev. and Western Chacoan districts. In the Pampean province five districts are recognized: Austral Pampean, Eastern Pampean, Espinal, Western Pampean and Uruguayan. In the Argentinean part of the Puna province the Jujuyan district is recognized. In the Cuyan High Andean province three districts are identified: Diaguita nom. nov., Cuyan ubic. nov. and Huarpe nom. nov. The Monte province includes four districts: Prepuna, Northern, Eremean and Southern. In the Patagonian province we recognize five subprovinces: Central Patagonian (Chubut and Santa Cruz districts), Fuegian, Payunia (Northern and Southern Payunia districts), Subandean (Meridional Subandean Patagonia, Austral High Andean, and Septentrional Subandean Patagonia districts) and Western Patagonian. In the Argentinean sector of the Maule province is present the Pehuén district. The Valdivian Forest province is represented by the Valdivian district. The Falkland (Malvinas) Islands province has two districts: Falkland Islands and South Georgia Islands.
... Genera with typical cephalothecoid peridia are usually found in the family Cephalothecaceae. Besides Cephalothecaceae, fungi with peridia breaking into plates are found in other, often distant families such as Batistiaceae Samuels et Rodrigues ( Batistia Cifferi, see Samuels & Rodrigues 1989), Ceratostomataceae Winter ( Rhytidospora Jeng et Cain, see Jeng & Cain 1977), Chaetomiaceae Winter (Chaetomidium (Zopf) Saccardo, Corynascella Arx et Hodges, see Guarro et al. 1997;Stchigel & Guarro 2007), Coniochaetaceae Malloch et Cain (Coniochaeta (Saccardo) Cooke, see Kamiya et al. 1995), Dacampiaceae K€ orber (Weddellomyces Hawksworth, see Halıcı 2010), Lasiosphaeriaceae Nannfeldt (Cercophora Fuckel, Zopfiella Winter, see Malloch & Cain 1970;Del Valle Catania et al. 2011), Melanommataceae Winter (Bertiella (Saccardo) Saccardo et P. Sydow, see Eriksson & Yue 1986), Ophiostomataceae Nannfeldt (Fragosphaeria Shear, see Cannon & Kirk 2007), Testudinaceae Arx (Neotestudina Segretain et Destombes, Testudina Bizzozero, see Sivanesan 1991;Raja et al. 2010), and Zopfiaceae Arnaud ex Hawksworth (Zopfia Rabenhorst, Zopfiofoveola Hawksworth, see Raja et al. 2010;Patil 2012). To date remains of fungal cephalothecoid fructifications have not been identified in the fossil record. ...
Fragments of cephalothecoid fructifications (peridia) were encountered during palynological
investigations of Neogene deposits in Mizerna-Nowa/Poland and Adendorf/Germany.
Isolated plates of cephalothecoid ascoma in shape and cellular structure similar to the extant
members of the family Cephalothecaceae are described as Cephalothecoidomyces neogenicus
fossil gen. et sp. nov. while remnants of fungal sporocarps with cephalothecoid walls
with indistinct lines of dehiscence, similar in structure to peridia with cephalothecoid morphology
of extant representatives the family Chaetomiaceae (mainly genus Chaetomidium)
are assigned to Adendorfia miocenica fossil gen. et sp. nov. We also propose a new interpretation
of some previously described fossil fungal taxa that we consider to be remnants of
cephalothecoid ascomata.
... Cercophora elephantina differs from the lignicolous C. costaricensis and C. palmicola in that it develops scattered or loosely gregarious perithecia on dung, whereas the latter grow densely gregarious or often crowded and tend to form crusts (CARROLL & MUNK, 1964;HANLIN & TORTOLERO, 1987). In addition, C. palmicola has turbinate (HANLIN & TORTOLERO, 1987) rather than obovoid or ellipsoid ascomata and C. costaricensis has glabrous perithecia and an outer peridial layer with a petaloid (radiating) arrangement of angular cells around dark centres (HILBER et al., 1987;DEL VALLE CATANIA et al., 2011). ...
... It is also difficult to isolate fimicolous Cercophora spp. in pure culture, due to the almost inevitable sampling contamination and exploitation of the culture medium by faster growing species. All my attempts to isolate collections of new or rare Cercophora spp. in axenic culture were unsuccessful, as were those of DEL VALLE CATANIA et al. (2011). Difficulties were also encountered by CANDOUSSAU et al. (2001) when they attempted to isolate species of Lasiosphaeria, since the ascospores of that genus, like those of Cercophora, "germinate slowly and, before this happens, the culture is already contaminated" (RÉBLOVÁ, in litt.). ...
... In scarcely or partially carbonaceous peridia, the areolas are sometimes indistinct and formed of usually polygonal cells, radiating from a dark centre. In coarsely, entirely carbonaceous peridia, the areolas are usually distinct and often appear as plates of radiating, very thick-walled, short-cylindrical cells, which form a scleroplectenchymatous textura prismatica (CHAUDHARY et al., 2007, DEL VALLE CATANIA et al., 2011. A so structured peridium is not uncommon in Lasiosphaeriaceae, particularly occurring in the cleistocarpic genera Chaetomidium (Zopf ) Sacc. (DOVERI et al., 1998) and Zopfiella G. Winter (GUARRO et al., 1996), and outside Sordariales in Cephalotheca Fuckel, hence the alternative name textura cephalothecoidea given to this type of tissue. ...
Abstract: Elephant dung, when compared with other dungs from mammalian herbivores, was regarded as
an ideal substrate for cellulolytic fungi. One sample of Indian elephant dung, examined for detecting coprophilous ascomycetes, was found to have developed three different Cercophora species. Cercophora elephantina, Cercophora sp. of the complex-sordarioides, and a new species, C. cephalothecoidea, were classified based on morphological characteristics. C. elephantina was described in detail and compared with species having the so called “pseudobombardioid” peridium. Cercophora sp. and C. cephalothecoideawere described, compared and placed in keys with species having a membraneous or carbonaceous peridium, respectively. Bombardia mutabilis and B. rostratawere recombined in Cercophora. Following recent phylogenetic analyses, the morphological and physiological features of family Lasiosphaeriaceae, Cercophora and related genera were re-examined and discussed.
Keywords: cellulases, coprophilous fungi, exoperidium, morphological study, phylogenetic studies, Sordariales.
... The ascomata in C. septentrionalis are covered by brown, flexuous hairs, whereas a distinct dark purple to blackish blue subiculum surrounds the ascomata in C. caerulea (Lundqvist 1972). Cercophora vinosa occurs in a well-supported clade with C. solaris in which it shares only a cephalothecoid-like ascomal wall and lack of a subapical globule (Catania et al. 2011). ...
