83e, f, g and h). Anamorph: Cytoplea hysterioides K.D. Hyde (Hyde et al. 1996a). Material examined: MALAYSIA, Malacca, on culms of Bambusa Bar & Grill, 1885, B. Scortechini 15 (PAD, Roussoëlla nitidula Sacc. Paol. 2484, holotype, on a loose label Roussoëlla nitidula S. & P. Est Phyllachora phaeodidym./15 prob. original material from Malacca Peninsula). Notes Morphology Roussoëlla was introduced by Saccardo for the single

species R. nitidula Sacc. & Trametinib datasheet Paol. (Saccardo and Paoletti 1888). It was redescribed by Hyde et al. (1996a) and the anamorph of Roussoëlla hysterioides (Ces.) Höhn., Cytoplea hysterioides K.D. Hyde was determined and described. Roussoëlla was then reviewed by Hyde (1997) and a modified key for Roussoëlla species was provided based on the one proposed by Ju et al. (1996). Roussoëlla is characterized as having immersed ascomata containing long cylindrical asci and brown 1-septate ornamented ascospores. In this study, we have checked the type species and it matches Hyde et al. (1996a). The asci are bitunicate, but we could not observe the fissitunicate dehiscence. Phylogenetic study Species of Roussoëlla, Roussoellopsis as well as Arthopyrenia salicis form a robust

phylogenetic clade, which form a sister group with pleosporalean families, but the generic type of Roussoëlla (R. nitidula) was not included in the phylogenetic study (Tanaka et al. 2009). Concluding remarks The bambusicolous habitat of Roussoëlla is a striking character at generic rank classification but its relationship to the

lichenized Arthopyrenia is unexpected and will require more analysis. Saccharicola D. Hawksw. & O.E. check details Erikss., in Eriksson & Hawksworth, Mycologia 95: 431 (2003). (Massarinaceae) Generic description Habitat terrestrial, parasitic. Ascomata medium-sized, solitary, scattered, immersed, globose to subglobose, carbonaceous, papillate, ostiolate. Peridium relatively thin, composed of one cell type of pale brown to hyaline pseudoparenchymatous cells. Hamathecium of trabeculate selleck chemicals pseudoparaphyses. Asci bitunicate, 8-spored, cylindro-clavate to clavate. Ascospores biseriate and sometimes laterally uniseriate, fusoid with narrowly rounded ends, septate, Carbachol constricted at the septa, the upper second cell becoming pigmented when mature, smooth or verruculose. Anamorphs reported for genus: Stagonospora (Eriksson and Hawksworth 2003; Kaiser et al. 1979; Leuchtmann 1984). Literature: Eriksson and Hawksworth 2003. Type species Saccharicola bicolor (D.
