Fig. 4E View Fig

Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 25: 263 ( Thaxter 1891, as vorticellaria). –

Type: USA • “ Connecticut: West Haven , on Hydrocombus lacustris LeConte , May 1890, R. Thaxter, FH7117 [Holotype, see Santamaria 2004]”; FH .

Diagnostic features

Base of receptacle consisting only of an undivided basal cell ( Fig. 4E, I View Fig ). With buffer projections lateral to receptacle ( Fig. 4E View Fig , bf). Perithecia bearing four thin, ligula-like protuberances. [Detailed descriptions: Thaxter 1896; Majewski 1994b]

Distribution and hosts

Hosts belong to Col. Hydrophilidae , usually Helochares Mulsant, 1844 in Europe, but on other continents also Cymbiodyta Bedel, 1881 , Hydrobiomorpha Blackburn, 1888 , Sternolophus Solier, 1842 , and Enochrus . This species has been reported from few countries in Europe: France, Poland, Germany, Italy and Spain; America: USA, Cuba, Trinidad, Venezuela, Mexico, and Argentina; Africa: Cameroon; Asia: Korea ( Santamaria 2004). Other records after are from Greece ( Castaldo et al. 2004), Czech Republic ( Rossi & Máca 2006), Belarus ( Majewski 2008), Sweden ( Huggert 2010), the Netherlands ( Haelewaters et al. 2012), Turkey ( Rossi 2016), United Kingdom ( Bratton 2018), Bulgaria ( Rossi et al. 2019a), and Belgium ( De Kesel et al. 2020).

Remarks

First record from Denmark. The huge diversity of hosts and wide distribution of this species make us suspect that several cryptic species are involved.
