Bipolar Mating System

Hypholoma australe sp. nov., a primary wood decomposer, is described and illustrated from Western Australia. It appears to be closely related to Hypholoma sublateritium (Fr.) Quél, which is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. Self crosses of both species reveal a bipolar mating system. Mating tests carried out between single-spore isolates from populations from Western Australia and North America were completely intersterile.

A New Species

Allium Linneaus (1753: 294) is one of the largest monocot genera with about 900 species (Govaerts et al. 2019) naturally distributed throughout the northern hemisphere (Stearn 1978, 1992, Fritsch & Keusgen 2006, Friesen et al. 2006, Fritsch & Abbasi 2008). The main centre of biodiversity occurs in Southwestern and Central Asia and the Mediterranean region, a smaller center is found in western North America (Friesen et al. 2006, Nguyen et al. 2008). The genus is characterized by bulbs enclosed in membranous, fibrous or reticulate tunics, free or basally connate tepals and often a subgynobasic style (Friesen et al. 2006). The genus Allium is a member of Amaryllidaceae subfam. Allioideae, tribe Allieae (APGIII 2009, Chase & Reveal 2009). Recent phylogenetic studies based on molecular data were combined with morphology, anatomy, and cytology resulting in new proposals for sectional and subsectional relationships (Linne von Berg et al. 1996, Dubouzet & Shinoda 1999, Friesen et al. 2000, 2006, Gurushidze et al. 2008, Nguyen et al. 2008, Li et al. 2010, Choi et al. 2012). The most recent Allium classification includes 15 subgenera and 80 sections (Friesen et al. 2006). Allium is a taxonomically quite complex and has unresolved nomenclatural problems. In the last decades, many Allium taxa were newly described for Turkey and the number of species known to occur in the country is approximately 200, classified into 15 sections, ca. one-third which being endemic (Kollmann 1984, Koyuncu 2012, Özhatay & Kandemir 2014, Ekşi et al. 2015, 2016, Duman et al. 2017, Fırat et al. 2018).

A New Species

The genus Lysimachia Linnaeus (1753: 146) comprises about 180 species, distributed in temperate and subtropical parts of the northern hemisphere, as well as in some tropical mountain regions (Ray 1956). The majority of species grows in China, i.e. Yunnan, Southern Sichuan, Western Guizhou and Guangxi regions (Hu & Kelso 1996), which is also considered the centre of origin of this genus (Chen & Hu 1979). A limited number of species can be found in North America (20; Cholewa 2009), in Europe (13; Ferguson 1972), in Russia (11; Fedorov 1967), with 7 species occurring in Turkey (Coşkunçelebi 2012).

A New Species

Polygonatum Miller (1754: without pagination) is characterized by thick fleshy creeping sympodial rhizomes with elongated aerial stem and fleshy berries (Tamura et al. 1997). This genus contains 60 or more species in the world and widely distributed in the warm-temperate to boreal zones of the Northern Hemisphere with five species in Europe and three species in North America and concentrated (about 50 species) in East Asia (from Russia and Japan to Himalaya) (Tang 1978, Conran & Tamura 1998, Chen & Tamura 2000, Utech 2002, Judd 2003, Ohara et al. 2007). Chen & Tamura (2000) recognized 39 species for China, 20 of them being endemic to the country (see also Tang 1978). Since then, Floden (2014) and Zhao & He (2014) described two new taxa, both from Yunnan, China.

A New Species

SUMMARYGiven the worldwide decline of amphibian populations due to emerging infectious diseases, it is imperative that we identify and address the causative agents. Many of the pathogens recently implicated in amphibian mortality and morbidity have been fungal or members of a poorly understood group of fungus-like protists, the mesomycetozoans. One mesomycetozoan, Amphibiocystidium ranae, is known to infect several European amphibian species and was associated with a recent decline of frogs in Italy. Here we present the first report of an Amphibiocystidium sp. in a North American amphibian, the Eastern red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), and characterize it as the new species A. viridescens in the order Dermocystida based on morphological, geographical and phylogenetic evidence. We also describe the widespread and seasonal distribution of this parasite in red-spotted newt populations and provide evidence of mortality due to infection.

A New Species

Cryptonella? cailliaudi Barrois, 1889, from the Lower Devonian of the Armorican Massif, is tentatively assigned to the athyridid brachiopod genus Planalvus Carter, thus far known only from the Lower Carboniferous of eastern North America. In addition, a new species, Planalvus rufus, is described from the Bois-Roux Formation (Pragian) of Brittany, France. These French species are small brachiopods with complex spiralial and jugal structures, which permit assignment to the order Athyridida.

A New Species

Specimens of Andreaea sect. Andreaea collected in Lesotho show morphological differences from the remaining Sub-Saharan Africa species in the group. Particularly, Lesotho specimens have much larger spores, a character diagnostic in the genus. Spore size also separates the Lesotho specimens from typical A. rupestris from the Northern Hemisphere. Consequently, we describe a new species from the highlands of Lesotho (Andreaea barbarae). Additionally, we present a taxonomic key to all accepted species of Andreaea sect. Andreaea in sub-Saharan Africa.
