Sporormiella octomegaspora, a new hairy species with eight-celled ascospores from Spain

摘要

An ascolocular ascomycete with semi-immersed, hairy and pyriform pseudothecia, abundant pseudoparaphyses, fissitunicate 8-spored asci, and dark, very large 8-celled ascospores has been isolated from deer dung in Andalusia (Spain). Based on morphological features, a new species is erected and accommodated in Sporormiella, which the authors regard as a genus independent of Preussia. The new species is discussed and placed in a key, and a previous worldwide key to Sporormiella species with 8-celled spores is updated.
