T1  - Diversity of hyperparasitic fungi on Meliolales (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota): new species, records, and molecular data from Benin and Panama
T2  - Mycological progress
N2  - Meliolales (black mildews) is an order of plant parasitic ascomycetous fungi in the tropics and subtropics. They are frequently overgrown and parasitized by other fungi, known as hyperparasites. During the last few years, species of hyperparasitic fungi on Meliolales have been collected in Benin and Panama. A new species of Paranectria and seven new reports of hyperparasites of different systematic groups are presented here with detailed descriptions and illustrations, together with new data concerning fungal hosts and host plants. The new species is called Paranectria longiappendiculata, characterized by exceptionally long appendages carried by the ascospores. New records for Benin and Panama are Calloriopsis herpotricha, Dimerosporiella cephalosporii, Isthmospora glabra, Isthmospora trichophila, Malacaria meliolicola, Paranectriella hemileiae, and Paranectriella minuta. Calloriopsis herpotricha is recorded for Africa and D. cephalosporii and P. hemileiae for America for the first time, suggesting an apparently pantropical distribution. Findings show a blatant lack of investigation on hyperparasitic fungi in the tropics. The phylogenetic positions of three of these newly reported species, C. herpotricha, D. cephalosporii, and P. minuta, are shown based on the analysis of internal transcribed spacer (ITS), large subunit (LSU), and small subunit (SSU) rDNA sequences. These sequences were generated in the context of the present study for the first time.
