Abstract

This study introduces two new marine microfungal species, Paraloratospora marina (Phaeosphaeriaceae) and Tremateia phragmitis (Didymosphaeriaceae) based on morphological comparisons and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses. They were collected on decaying woody stems of Phragmites australis at Cardiff Bay Nature Reserve in Wales, United Kingdom. Paraloratospora marina sp. nov. is characterized by immersed, globose to subglobose ascomata with a papillate and periphysate ostiole, cylindrical to subcylindrical, thick-walled, sessile to subsessile asci, fusiform, hyaline to pale brown, 3-septate, guttulate ascospores. Tremateia phragmitis sp. nov. is characterized by semi-immersed to immersed, globose ascomata with a protruding periphysate ostiole, clavate, pedicellate, asci and ascospores that are ellipsoidal to broadly fusiform, 4–6 transversely septate, with 1–2 vertical septa, muriform, golden brown to pale brown ascospores. Dichotomopilus funicola and Pseudofusicoccum ardesiacum are recorded for the first time from marine habitats. Furthermore, based on morphological characteristics and multigene phylogenetic analyses, Phaeosphaeria spartinae was transferred to Septoriella.

Keywords: Paraloratospora ; Phragmites ; Pleosporales; salt marsh plants; Tremateia
