Abstract

The genus was erected to accommodate -like species with verruculose conidia. So far, it includes only four species, which have been found in association with plants, and very little is known about their distribution and host preferences. In this study, a -like fungus isolated from sea water from the north of Portugal was characterised. Phylogenetic analysis, based on sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer and beta-tubulin loci, placed this fungus within the genus but clearly distinct from the other known species. A novel species sp. nov. is described and illustrated. The taxonomic affiliation of the genus at the family level was addressed through individual and combined gene genealogies. Our results show that the genus is a member of the family .
