Abstract

This paper gives an account of three taxa belonging to the family Asterinaceae. Of these, Asterina arkemibeyi and A. deridicola are the new species. The genus Viegasia forms a new generic record and V. cissampeli is reported here for the first time from India.

Highlights

  • Hyphae flexuous, branching opposite to alternate at acute to wide angles, loosely

  • The teleomorph belongs to the genus Asterina and differs from the all known Asterina species on the members of the family Flacourtiaceae in having ovate, elongated, tubular, entire to sublobate and straight to variously curved appressoria (Hosagoudar & Abraham 2000; Hosagoudar 2012)

  • Hyphae substraight to undulate, branching opposite to alternate at acute to wide angles, loosely reticulate, cells 22–40x4–5 μm
