Notes.

Melanospora arenaria is characterized by ascomata with a long neck and ellipsoidal to citriform, smooth-walled ascospores. It is similar to Melanospora caprina , but differs in having less tomentose ascomata with a shorter neck. Also, it is similar to M. lagenaria , differing only by the size of the setae at the top of the ascomatal neck. Molecular data is necessary to confirm that both species correspond to different species since the size of the setae could be influenced by the culture media on where these grew.
