Abstract
Sandersoniomyces, A New Genus of Laboulbeniales Allied to Diplomyces, Symplectromyces and Teratomyces
Highlights
[VoL. 6, No 4 myces, all species of which have been found only on beetles classified in the Staphylininae of the Staphylinidae, representatives of several other genera of Laboulbeniales, none of which is closely related to the above, occur on this subfamily of insects
The antheridia of some species placed in Mimeomyces by Thaxter still are unknown, including those of M. latonae
Sandersoniomyces divaricatus and species of Diplomyces, Symplectromyces, and Teratomyces comprise a complex of seemingly related fungi that stands apart from other Laboulbeniales
Summary
Benjamin, Richard K. (1968) "Sandersoniomyces, A New Genus of Laboulbeniales Allied to Diplomyces, Symplectromyces and Teratomyces," Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany: Vol 6: Iss. 4, Article 2. The appendage of T. mirificus, as well as other species of Teratomyces, is very distinctive and varies greatly in degree of complexity (Fig. 4 D-F) It usually consists of an elongate basal cell, often bearing a sterile, beak-like basal branchlet of 2-3 cells, followed above by more or less numerous free Bask-shaped antheridia and additional sterile apically-beaked branchlets. Vulgaris mounted in glycerine acid fuchsin or aniline blue dyes, I have been able to record photographically many stages of the formation of the perithecium and female sexual organ of this species Development of these structures in S. vulgaris as well as in Diplomyces actobianus, Teratomyces mirificus, and Sandersoniomyces divaricatus is essentially the same as was described many years ago by Thaxter ( 1896) for Stigmatomyces baeri, Peyritschiella geminata, and Laboulbenia flagellata (as L. elongata). I have observed only two ascogenous cells in the mature perithecia of Diplomyces actobianus, Teratomyces mirificus and Sandersoniomyces divaricatus
