Recommended names for pleomorphic genera in Dothideomycetes
IMA Fungus 6 (2), 507-523
Abstract: This paper provides recommendations of one name for use among pleomorphic genera in Dothideomycetes by the Working Group on Dothideomycetes established under the auspices of the International Commission on the Taxonomy of Fungi (ICTF). A number of these generic names are proposed for protection because they do not have priority and/or the generic name selected for use is asexually typified. These include: Acrogenospora over Farlowiella; Alternaria over Allewia, Lewia, and Crivellia; Botryosphaeria over Fusicoccum; Camarosporula over Anthracostroma; Capnodium over Polychaeton; Cladosporium over Davidiella; Corynespora over Corynesporasca; Curvularia over Pseudocochliobolus; Elsinoë over Sphaceloma; Excipulariopsis over Kentingia; Exosporiella over Anomalemma; Exserohilum over Setosphaeria; Gemmamyces over Megaloseptoria; Kellermania over Planistromella; Kirschsteiniothelia over Dendryphiopsis; Lecanosticta over Eruptio; Paranectriella over Araneomyces; Phaeosphaeria over Phaeoseptoria; Phyllosticta over Guignardia; Podonectria over Tetracrium; Polythrincium over Cymadothea; Prosthemium over Pleomassaria; Ramularia over Mycosphaerella; Sphaerellopsis over Eudarluca; Sphaeropsis over Phaeobotryosphaeria; Stemphylium over Pleospora; Teratosphaeria over Kirramyces and Colletogloeopsis; Tetraploa over Tetraplosphaeria; Venturia over Fusicladium and Pollaccia; and Zeloasperisporium over Neomicrothyrium. Twenty new combinations are made: Acrogenospora carmichaeliana (Berk.) Rossman and Crous, Alternaria scrophulariae (Desm.) Rossman and Crous, Pyrenophora catenaria (Drechsler) Rossman and K.D. Hyde, P. dematioidea (Bubák and Wróbl.) Rossman and K.D. Hyde, P. fugax (Wallr.) Rossmanand K.D. Hyde, P. nobleae (McKenzie and D. Matthews) Rossman and K.D. Hyde, P. triseptata (Drechsler) Rossman and K.D. Hyde, Schizothyrium cryptogamum (Batzer and Crous) Crous and Batzer, S. cylindricum (G.Y. Sun et al. ) Crous and Batzer, S. emperorae (G.Y. Sun and L. Gao) Crous and Batzer, S. inaequale (G.Y. Sun and L. Gao) Crous and Batzer, S. musae (G.Y. Sun and L. Gao) Crous and Batzer, S. qianense (G.Y. Sun and Y.Q. Ma) Crous and Batzer, S. tardecrescens (Batzer and Crous) Crous and Batzer, S. wisconsinense (Batzer and Crous) Crous and Batzer, Teratosphaeria epicoccoides (Cooke and Massee) Rossman and W.C. Allen, Venturia catenospora (Butin) Rossman and Crous, V. convolvularum (Ondrej) Rossman and Crous, V. oleaginea (Castagne) Rossman and Crous, and V. phillyreae (Nicolas and Aggéry) Rossman and Crous, combs. nov. Three replacement names are also proposed: Pyrenophora grahamii Rossman and K.D. Hyde, Schizothyrium sunii Crous and Batzer, and Venturia barriae Rossman and Crous noms. nov.
