Botryosphaeriaceae from palms in Thailand - Barriopsis archontophoenicis sp. nov, from Archontophoenix alexandrae.

[摘要] During our studies of palm fungi in Thailand we identified a new species of Barriopsis on a petiole of Archontophoenix alexandrae, which we introduce herein as B. archontophoenicis. The new species is compared with other species in the genus Barriopsis and differs in its epapillate ostiole and smaller ascospores. Phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS, LSU, SSU and TEF1-α sequence data also show the species to be distinct.
