2.2.12 Stigmatodiscales ( Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota)

Asterodiscus tamaricis was introduced by Voglmayr et al. (2016) from material collected on dead twigs of Tamarix tetrandra ( Austria) but later transferred to Stigmatodiscus , S. tamaricis , by Voglmayr and Amengual (2018). A second species, Asterodiscus mangrovei was described by Dayarathne et al. (2020a) from decaying submerged wood at a mangrove strand in Thailand. Voglmayr et al. (2016) referred Stigmatodiscus to the new family and order ( Stigmatodiscaceae , Stigmatodiscales ) and recorded for the first time for the marine fungi checklist. In the present study, we transfer Asterodiscus mangrovei to Stigmatodiscus as S. mangrovei .
