Abstract

A new monotypic coelomycetous genus, Loculosulcatispora (type species L. thailandica) is introduced in Pleosporales from woody litter in Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis of combined non-translated loci (SSU, LSU, ITS) and protein-coding regions (tef1-α, rpb2) shows the genus is a distinct lineage in Sulcatisporaceae. Loculosulcatispora is distinguished from other genera in the family, by having 1-celled, oblong, hyaline, smooth-walled conidia with guttules. Comprehensive morphological descriptions and illustrations are provided for the new genus and species.
