Abstract
A new marine ascomycete, Lindra obtusa, and its anamorph, Anguillospora marina, are described. They were isolated from sea foam samples on some shores of Japan, and appear to be adapted to marine habitats. Higher marine fungi in Japan have been studied by Tubaki (1966, 1968, 1969, 1973) mainly from submerged test wood panels. Marine fungi in seawater foam (Kohlmeyer, 1966) have been also reported in Japan (Tubaki, 1980; Tubaki and Nakagiri, 1982). Among isolates from foam samples are some undescribed species, one being a new taxon of the genus Corollospora with a Sigmoidea anamorph (Nakagiri and Tubaki, 1982). During further investigation of sea foam samples, we isolated an undescribed species belonging to the genus Lindra Wilson. This taxon has an Anguillospora Ingold anamorph. The isolates are described here as new species.
