Rickia rostrata Thaxter, Proceedings View in CoL of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 51: 10, 1915
Known distribution. Parasitic on Atanygnathus ruficollis (Kraatz) ( Coleoptera , Staphylinidae ) in Malaysian Borneo and Java ( Thaxter 1926).
New record from Sierra Leone. Western Area, swamp near Hamilton, 8°22’31”N, 13°15’10”W, 29.X.1995, W. Rossi , on the elytra of an unidentified rove beetle.
Remarks. To date, this fungus was known only from the type series, therefore the new record is the first for the African continent. Despite the large geographical gap, the African thalli are identical with the Asian ones and display the same variability as to their length, which ranges from 265 to 510 μm.
