Abstract

PETERSEN, Ronald H. New Species of Lentaria (Fungi: Aphyllophorales): redescription and mating systems of L. surculus and L. byssiseda. Rev. biol. trop [online]. 2000, vol.48, n.2-3, pp.555-567. ISSN 0034-7744.

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.

Keywords : Biogeography; mating systems; new species; Lentaria.
