Abstract
Twelve ascomycetes associated with herbivore dung, collected throughout an edaphic and climatic gradient from the Atlantic Forest complex to the semi-arid Caatinga in Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil, represent new records: Ascobolus castaneus, Arnium hirtum, Cercophora anisura, Chaetomium citrinum, C. spirale, Coniochaeta philocoproides, Coprotus albidus, and Delitschia vulgaris are new records for the Neotropics; Cercophora sordarioides, Chaetomium cochliodes, Sordaria lappae, and Thelebolus microsporus are new records for Brazil. Ascobolus castaneus is recorded for the second time worldwide, revealing a much wider geographical distribution for a species previously reported only from China. Descriptions and updated geographic distributions are presented, and information regarding the records is discussed.
