| Abstract: | Two fungi collected from submerged woody debris were found to represent hitherto undescribed species of the ascomycete genera
Clohiesia and Paraniesslia. They are described as Clohiesia curvispora sp. nov. and Paraniesslia aquatica sp. nov. based on morphological characters. Clohiesia curvispora is characterized by immersed ascomata under a clypeus, and unitunicate, cylindrical asci containing one-celled, curved, elongate-fusiform
ascospores. Paraniesslia aquatica is characterized by small, superficial, setose ascomata, and unitunicate, clavate asci containing verrucose, brown ascospores.
Each species is illustrated with light micrographs and compared with similar taxa in this article. |
