Molecular and morphological characterization of Pyricularia and allied genera

The phylogenetic relationships of Pyricularia species and species from related genera were established from sequences of the internal transcribed spacer ribosomal RNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis disclosed a consistent correlation with spore morphology. Most Pyricularia species studied, and two species of Dactylaria that have obpyriform conidia, fell within the Magnaporthaceae cluster with high bootstrap support. Pyricularia variabilis was more related to Dactylaria, Tumularia or Ochroconis species than to the Magnaporthaceae. Dactylaria and species of Nakataea, Ochroconis, Pyriculariopsis and Tumularia were distinct from the Magnaporthaceae, and the genus Dactylaria is polyphyletic. The combination of morphological and molecular characters, such as spore morphology and ITS ribosomal DNA sequences data, suggested that conidial shape could be a primary character to distinguish Pyricularia from related genera.

Aquatic fungi from peat swamp palms: Unisetosphaeria penguinoides gen. et sp. nov., and three new Dactylaria species

Unisetosphaeria penguinoides gen. et sp. nov. and three new species of Dactylaria are described from dead petioles and rhachides of the palms Eleiodoxa conferta and Nenga pumila (Arecaceae) collected in Sirindhorn Peat Swamp Forest, southern Thailand. Unisetosphaeria (Ascomycota) is compared with similar genera, and its placement at the family level is considered. The three new Dactylaria species (anamorphic fungi) are compared with similar species in the genus.

A revision of Dactylaria, with description of D. tunicata sp. nov. from submerged wood in Australia

Dactylaria tunicata sp. nov. from submerged wood in a freshwater stream from Australia is described and illustrated. It differs from all previously described species of Dactylaria in having uniseptate conidia with a hyaline sheath. The 41 species of Dactylaria accepted by de Hoog are listed together with a further 41 validly published species of Dactylaria post de Hoog. A taxonomic key to 37 of the 41 post de Hoog species is provided, based on the literature, together with a composite illustration of their conidial morphology. The other four species are discussed, but they are not considered to be Dactylaria species (sensu de Hoog).

Dactylaria endophytica sp. nov., an endophyte from leaves of Prunus lusitanica

A species of Dactylaria was isolated as an endophyte from a living symptomless leaf of Prunus lusitanica. It was compared and contrasted with similar species and concluded to be an undescribed taxon, D. endophytica sp. nov.

Nematode-trapping species of Monacrosporium with special reference to two new species

Two new species of Monacrosporium which capture nematodes are described and the taxonomy of the known nematode-trapping species of Monacrosporium is discussed. Four species of Dactylaria , two of {ilDactylella}, one of Golovinia , one of Dactylium and one of Monacrosporiella are transferred to Monacrosporium . A total of 43 nematode-trapping species are listed and a key is provided.

Two new species of Dactylaria from Taiwan

Dactylaria lunata and Dactylaria pyriformis from fallen, decaying stems from Taiwan are described as new. Both have hyaline conidiophores, conidiogenous cells and conidia and are placed in Dactylaria sect. Dactylaria. D. lunata is characterized by falcate, 1-septate conidia fomed from short tubular denticles towards apices of cylindrical conidiophores, while D. pyriformis has pyriform, 1-septate conidia formed from long cylindrical denticles on obpyriform or ovoid conidiophores. The characters distinguishing the new species from some Arthrobotrys or closely related species are discussed.

Nematode-trapping species of Dactylella and Monacrosporium

Three new species of Monacrosporium are described which capture nematodes in adhesive networks, M. cystosporum, M. salinum and M. fusiformis. M. megalosporum (Drechsler) Subram. is reported for the first time in Britain. The taxonomy of known nematode-trapping species of Dactylella and some species of Dactylaria is discussed. Nine species of Dactylella and one of Dactylaria are transferred to Monacrosporium .
