Luck-Allen, (TRTC 41607, paratype); USA, Montana: Gallatin County, 60 min S of Bozeman, on sheep dung, 2 Sept. 1957, Cain (TRTC 42032, paratype); Stillwater selleck chemical County Columbus, on cow dung, 3 Sept. 1957, Cain (TRTC 42031, paratype); South Dakota, Meade Co.: South of Wall, on cow dung, 3 Sept. 1962, Cain (TRTC 40697,

holotype). Notes Morphology Semidelitschia was formally established by Cain and Luck-Allen (1969) and was assigned to Sporormiaceae. Although it is similar to Delitschia, it differs as the ascospores are 1-celled, as opposed to 2-celled. Subsequently, Semidelitschia was transferred to Delitschiaceae together with Delitschia (Barr 2000). Currently, three species are listed under this genus, i.e. S. agasmatica Cain & Luck-Allen, S. nanostellata A.E. Bell & Mahoney and S. tetraspora J.H. Mirza & S.M. Khan (Index Fungorum) although the number of species in the genus are given as only two in Kirk et al. (2008). Phylogenetic study None.

Concluding remarks This is a clearly defined genus that differs from Delitschia in having 1-celled ascospores. Cultures of S. agasmatica are needed for sequencing and for establishing the placement and uniqueness of the genus. Setomelanomma M. Morelet, Bull. Soc. Sci. nat. Arch.
