New Species of Lentaria (Fungi: Aphyllophorales): redescription and mating systems of L. surculus and L. byssiseda
The following names are proposed for species of Lentaria new to science: L. boletosporioides from New Zealand with stout basidiomata and boletoid basidiospores; L. caribbeana from Caribbean islands and circum-Caribbean landmasses, with large basidiomata and large basidiospores; L. glaucosiccescens f...

| Summary: | The following names are proposed for species of Lentaria new to science: L. boletosporioides from New Zealand with stout basidiomata and boletoid basidiospores; L. caribbeana from Caribbean islands and circum-Caribbean landmasses, with large basidiomata and large basidiospores; L. glaucosiccescens from New Zealand, with basidiomata turning grey-green upon drying; and L. rionegrensis from Argentina, with densely branched, ruddy basidiomata. Lentaria javanica nom. nov. is proposed to substitute for Clavaria compressa, a later homonym. Basidiospore statistics indicate infraspecific differentiation within L. surculus and two morphological variants are described. Lentaria surculus and L. byssiseda exhibit tetrapolar mating systems, and the two species are sexually interincompatible.<br>Se proponen los siguientes nombres para las especies de Lentaria nuevas para la ciencia: L. boletosporioides de Nueva Zelandia, L. caribbeana del Caribe y regiones vecinas, L. glaucosiccescens de Nueva Zelandia, y L rionegrensis de Argentina. Se propone a Lentaria javanica nom. nov., como nombre substituto para Clavaria compressa, un homónimo tardío de su nomenclatura. Se discute el agrupamiento infraespecífico dentro de L. surculus basado en estadísticas de las mediciones de las esporas. Se describen los sistemas reproductivos para L. surculus y L. byssiseda, y se encontró que éstas dos especies son sexualmente interincompatibles. |
