Exploring More on <i>Dictyosporiaceae</i>: The Species Geographical Distribution and Intriguing Novel Additions from Plant Litter
Five fungal taxa collected from plant litter in Chiang Mai province, Thailand, are described with illustrations. The maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, and Bayesian analyses of combined loci of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit nuclear ribosomal DNA (LSU), and translation exte...

| description | Five fungal taxa collected from plant litter in Chiang Mai province, Thailand, are described with illustrations. The maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, and Bayesian analyses of combined loci of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit nuclear ribosomal DNA (LSU), and translation extension factor 1-α (<i>tef1-α</i>) region were used for phylogeny analyses. <i>Dictyocheirospora acaciae</i> is introduced as a new species from <i>Acacia dealbata</i>. Based on size differences in conidiomata, conidia, and DNA sequence data, it is separated from the other species in the genus. Four new host records, <i>Dictyocheirospora garethjonesii</i>, <i>Di. taiwanense</i>, <i>Dictyosporium digitatum</i>, and <i>Pseudocoleophoma zingiberacearum</i> are also reported from <i>Bismarkia nobilis</i>, <i>Ficus benjamina</i>, <i>Cyperus aggregatus</i>, and <i>Hedychium spicatum</i>, respectively. Detailed descriptions, microphotographs, and phylogenetic information were provided, and all the species were compared to similar taxa. It is noted that there is still a necessity for a collective worldwide account of the distribution of <i>Dictyosporiaceae</i> species. Therefore, we compiled the geographical distributions and host species associations of all the so far known <i>Dictyosporiaceae</i> species and discussed them here. |
