Silvera-Simon, C., Mena-Portales, J., Gene, J., Cano, J. & Guarro, J. 2009. Repetophragma calongeii sp. nov. and other interesting dematiaceous hyphomycetes from the North of Spain. Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 66S1: 33-39. Repetophragma calongeii sp. nov., a dematiaceous hypho mycete found on unidentified dead wood collected in the Pagoeta Natural Park, Spain, is described and illustrated. The fungus is recognized by numerous percurrent proliferations in the conidiophores and its 12-27 euseptate, subcylindrical or subfusiform conidia. A key to species of Repetophragma without rostrate conidia is given and 18 additional dematiaceous hyphomycetes are firtly reported for Spain.

Highlights

  • During a survey of plant debris from the North of Spain some interesting dematiaceous hyphomycetes were found

  • Among them several species are reported for de first time from the Iberian Peninsula and a new species of Repetophragma is proposed, which was named as a tribute to Prof

  • The samples were collected from different Natural Parks located mainly in Euskadi and Asturias (North of Spain), put into sterilized polyethylene bags and stored in the refrigerator at 4-7oC in the laboratory until they were processed

Summary

Introduction

During a survey of plant debris from the North of Spain some interesting dematiaceous hyphomycetes were found. Guipúzcoa: Pagoeta Natural Park, IV2008, on dead wood, J. The only species of Repetophragma morphologically similar to R. calongeii is R. goidanichii (Rambelli) W.P. Wu (Wu & Zhuang, 2005), but the latter differs by its shorter and less septate conidia (Fig. 18). 48-59 × 11-18 μm, 3-5 septate, subhyaline to pale brown, with dark bands at the septa, the apical one thicker and black, smooth-walled.
