Pseudoentrophospora Tedersoo & Magurno gen. nov.

Type species.

Pseudoentrophospora kesseensis Tedersoo & Magurno.

Description.

Covers the monophyletic group in Pseudoentrophosporaceae (Fig. 1 ). Phylogenetically delimited as the least inclusive clade covering sequence accessions EUK 1631429, EUK 1105140 and EUK 0135500 (Suppl. material 1).

Notes.

Recognised based on eDNA sequences only. There are potentially 3–6 species in Pseudoentrophospora based on ITS sequences, some of which are represented by sequences EUK 1105140 (tropical rainforest soil in El Yunque, Puerto Rico, 18.29 ° N, - 65.78 ° E); EUK 1010525 (GSMc plot S 056, tropical rainforest soil in Pegaima Mountains, Guyana, 5.43567 ° N, - 60.08825 ° E); and EUK 0133825 (flooded grassland soil in Dijle, Belgium, 5.83 ° N, 4.65 ° E).

Figures

Figure 1. Phylogenetic position of genera and genus-level groups of Glomeromycota based on Maximum Likelihood analysis of SSU- ITS - LSU sequences. The clades are collapsed, with the number of sequences included in parentheses. Question marks above branches indicate low ultra-rapid bootstrap support (< 95). Orders are highlighted in different colours. For the genus Entrophospora, the so-called S-type reads (VanKuren et al. 2013) were included for comparison. The uncollapsed phylogram is given in Suppl. material 1.
