Generic Unit

The genus Aleurodiscus Rabenh. ex J. Schroet. (sensu lato) is an artificial assemblage of large-spored 'thelephoraceous' hymenomycetes, which can no longer be maintained as a generic unit. The generic limits and the taxonomic position of Aleurodiscus (sensu stricto) (TYPE SPECIES: A. amorphus (Pers. per Purt.: Fr.) J. Schroet.) have been discussed by the writer (1964) in a separate paper. The present work supplements this earlier work, but is concerned primarily with an appraisal of the non-amyloid-spored Aleurodisci, all of which are removed from Aleurodiscus and either assigned to other recognized genera or relegated to new genera.Accordingly, two new genera and 15 new combinations are devised here to accommodate several species formerly placed in Aleurodiscus (sensu lato). The new genera, one of which is monotypical, are Aleurocorticium Lemke, gen. nov. (TYPE SPECIES: A. acerinum (Pers. per Fr.) Lemke, gen. & comb. nov.) and Licrostroma Lemke, gen. nov. (MONOTYPE: L. subgiganteum (Berk.) Lemke, gen. & comb. nov.). The additional 13 combinations proposed are Aleurocorticium album (Viégas) Lemke, comb, nov., A. alliaceum (Quél.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. candidum (Schw.) Lemke, comb. nov. A. dryinum (Pers.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. griseo-canum (Bres.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. lepra (Berk. et Curt.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. macrodens (Coker) Lemke, comb. nov., A. macrosporum (Bres.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. moquiniarum (Viégas) Lemke, comb. nov., A. nivosum (Berk. et Curt. ex Höhn. et Litsch.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. seriatum (Berk. et Curt.) Lemke, comb. nov., A. strumosum (Fr.) Lemke, comb. nov.; and Aleurocystis magnispora (Burt) Lemke, comb. nov.The genus Laeticorticium Donk (1956: 16) (TYPE SPECIES: L. roseum (Pers. per Fr.) Donk) is confirmed as a valid segregate from Aleurodiscus (sensu lato), but the species of Laeticorticium are not treated here aside from nomenclatural considerations. With the exception of the Laeticorticia, all of the remaining North American and many of the critical non-amyloid-spored species of Aleurodiscus (sensu lato) are reviewed.Particular emphasis is devoted to the genus Aleurocorticium Lemke, gen. nov. and a key to 14 North American species of Aleurocorticium is provided. Seven of the Aleurocorticia are reported from the North American mycobiota for the first time. These seven species, five of which are described as new to science, include Aleurocorticium alliaceum (Quél.) Lemke [= Aleurodiscus alliaceus (Quél) Boidin (1957)], Aleurocorticium dryinum (Pers.) Lemke [= Aleurodiscus dryinus (Pers.) Bourd,], Aleurocorticium incrustans Lemke, sp. nov., A. maculatum Jacks. et Lemke, sp. nov., A. mexicanum Lemke, sp. nov., A. microsporum Jacks. et Lemke, sp. nov., and A. pachysterigmatum Jacks. et Lemke, sp. nov.Corlicium hiemale [= Aleurodiscus hiemalis (Laurila) Eriksson (1958a: 78)] is, likewise, initially recorded for North America.Eight of the named species of Aleurodiscus are recognized as facultative synonyms. These names, as indicated, are offered as taxonomic discards: [Aleurodiscus albidus Massee =] Aleurocorticium lepra (Berk. et Curt.) Lemke; [Aleurodiscus albus (Burt) Rogers et Jacks. =] Xenasma clematidis (Bourd. et Galz.) Liberta; [Aleurodiscus guttulatus Rick =] Bourdotia cinerea (Bres.) Bourd. etGalz.; [Aleurodiscus jacksonii Ahmad =] Aleurocorticium candidum (Schw.) Lemke; [Aleurodiscus orientalis Lloyd =] Licrostroma subgiganteum (Berk.) Lemke; [Aleurodiscus reflexus Yasuda =] Licrostroma subgiganteum (Berk.) Lemke; [Aleurodiscus sendaiensis Yasuda =] Corticium evolvens (Fr. ex Fr.) Fr.; [Aleurodiscus subacerinus Höhn. et Litsch. =] Aleurocorticium alliaceum (Quél.) Lemke.The genus Cyphella Fr. (MONOTYPE: C. digitalis (Alb. et Schw. per Pers.) Fr.) is reinstated (see Code 1952: 76) and the combination Aleurodiscus digitalis (Alb. et Schw. per Pers.) Donk (1951: 210) is discredited.

Abstract—Doellingeria and Eucephalus form the earliest-diverging clade of the North American Astereae lineage. Phylogenetic analyses of both nuclear and plastid sequence data show that the Doellingeria-Eucephalus clade consists of two main subclades that differ from current circumscriptions of the two genera. Doellingeria is the sister group to E. elegans, and the Doellingeria + E. elegans subclade in turn is sister to the subclade containing all remaining species of Eucephalus. In the plastid phylogeny, the two subclades are deeply divergent, a pattern that is consistent with an ancient hybridization event involving ancestral species of the Doellingeria-Eucephalus clade and an ancestral taxon of a related North American or South American group. Divergence of the two Doellingeria-Eucephalus subclades may have occurred in association with northward migration from South American ancestors. We combine these two genera under the older of the two names, Doellingeria, and propose 12 new combinations (10 species and two varieties) for all species of Eucephalus.

AbstractThe North American Aegeriidae are revised on the basis of the study of late-instar larvae of about 60 species. These species represent 20 genera in five tribes in two subfamilies: Bembeciini, Zenodoxini, Aegeriini and Melittiini in Zenodoxinae and Synanthedontini in Synanthedontinae. The presently recognized genera, Ramosia Engelhardt, Conopia Hübner and Thamnosphecia Spuler are reduced to synonyms of Synanthedon Hübner. Three new genera are defined by larval characters but are referred to only as Genera I, II and III. Larval characters for most of the species are discussed and illustrated; keys to species, genera and tribes are provided. Tribes, genera and most species are arranged in the text as nearly as possible according to their phylogenetic relationships as suggested by the larvae.

All macropterous species of Aptilotus Mik are keyed, with descriptions of two new macropterous North American species, Aptilotus pogophallus and A. nigriphallus. New distributional records are given for other North American species, and brachyptery is noted for the first time in A. luctuosus (Spuler). Four new macropterous species of Aptilotus (glabrifrons, spinistylus, rufiscapus, and binotatus are described from Nepal. The relationships between the North American and Nepalese species are discussed. Minocellina Papp is synonomized with Aptilotus, and the two species formerly in Minocellina, A. thaii (Papp) and A. besucheti (Papp), are thus given as new combinations. Limosina carbonicolor Richards, from Ethiopia, is redescribed and transferred to Aptilotus.

AbstractLarval characterizations for the genera of North American Brachycentridae are revised and two new genera created, bringing to five the total number now recognized on this continent. Previous concepts of larval morphology inMicrasemaare emended. Discovery of the larval stage ofBrachycentrus(Amiocentrus)aspilusRoss necessitates elevation of this subgenus to generic status. Association of larvae with the two North American species placed inOligoplectrumnecessitates removal of one,O.dimicki(Milne), toMicrasema. Discovery of all stages of a new species on Mount Hood, Oregon, necessitates creation of a new genus. A provisional larval key to the genera of the North American Brachycentridae is proposed and the phylogenetic relationships of the genera are discussed. Validity of the Asian genusOligoplectrodesis questioned.

The basidiomycete genus Aleurodiscus Rabenh. ex J. Schroet. has been variously interpreted by several authors. In its broadest sense the genus comprises the cyphelloid and corticioid homobasidiomycetes with large basidiospores. Aleurodiscus (sensu lato), thus defined, presently consists of nearly 110 named species, which appear to be referable to about 75 accepted taxa.The present work is a taxonomic re-evaluation of the genus Aleurodiscus. Some attempt to establish specific limits for the North American Aleurodisci follows and the taxonomic position of Aleurodiscus (sensu stricto) is considered. Although particular emphasis has been devoted to the North American species, practically all of the previously described species of Aleurodiscus have been reviewed by the author. When most of the named species of Aleurodiscus are compared, they appear to form a natural assemblage on the basis of their spore amyloidity and marked affinity in microstructure. These species have been retained within the genus Aleurodiscus (sensu stricto) (TYPE SPECIES: A. amorphus (Pers. per Purt.: Fr.) J. Schroet.). Certain species formerly placed in Aleurodiscus belong elsewhere. These species remain either to be reallocated into other recognized genera or to be relegated into new genera. The taxonomy of these non-amyloid-spored species will be discussed in a subsequent paper.Only the amyloid-spored species of Aleurodiscus are accounted for in the present paper. The North American and neotropical species are described, discussed, and wherever necessary illustrated. Considerable emphasis has been placed on nomenclature and synonymy. Distribution and host relationships are mentioned and those specimens examined are cited. Five previously described species are recorded for the North American mycoflora for the first time. These include Aleurodiscus aurantius (Pers. per Fr.) J. Schroet., A. disciformis (DC. per Fr.) Pat., A. fennicus Laurila, A. lapponicus Litsch., and A. tsugae Yasuda. Five species are described as new to science: Aleurodiscus abietis Jacks, et Lemke, sp. nov.; A. laurentianus Jacks, et Lemke, sp. nov. A. macrocystidiatus Lemke, sp. nov. A. piceinus Lyon et Lemke, sp. nov.; and A. spiniger Rogers et Lemke, sp. nov. The combination Aleurodiscus lividocoeruleus (Karst.) Lemke, comb. nov. is provided. A new genus, Aleurocystidiellum Lemke, gen. nov. (MONOTYPE: A. subcruentatum (Berk. et Curt.) Lemke, gen. & comb. nov.), is proposed to accommodate an amyloid-spored species not considered to be cogeneric with the other amyloid-spored Aleurodisci. Aleurodiscus stereoides Yasuda is recognized as a facultative synonym of Aleurocystidiellum subcruentatum (Berk. et Curt.) Lemke.The amyloid-spored species of Aleurodiscus (sensu stricto) have been compared with certain of the other amyloid-spored hymenomycetes, and a key to the amyloid-spored Aleurodisci and allied genera is provided under the heading Stereaceae. A discussion of microstructure and terminology for the genus is given to facilitate the use of the key.
