Melanospora pascuensis Stchigel & Guarro, Mycol. Res. 103: 1305. 1999.

Notes.

This species is excluded from Melanospora since its neck is cellular or absent, instead it is characterized by a dark ring-like structure around the germ pores of the ascospores ( Stchigel et al. 1999). This fungus could represent a new genus since such structure is unique in the Melanosporales , and these kind of structures resulted in being phylogenetically informative, as in the case of Dactylidispora , which is distinguished by its ascospores with a raised rim around the germ pores. The type strain of this specimen was contaminated with another fungus and it could not be included in the molecular study.
