Lasiosphaeriaceous ascomycetes from palms are discussed in this paper and three new species, L. alexandricola, L. alexandraeand L. chapmanii, are described. Three species are excluded from Lasiosphaeria, L. nematospora, L. rufulaand L. tephrocoma, and the transfer of L. subambiguato Cercophorais noted. A new genus, Arecacicola, is introduced to accommodate a distinctive taxon from palms. Arecacicolais characterized by ascomata immersed in a sparse stroma consisting of hosts cells filled with fungal hyphae. The ascomata do not ultimately become erumpent. The ascospores lack apical spines, and the asci do not possess an apical ring. A key to lasiosphaeriaceous taxa from palms is provided. |
