New species of Orbilia (Orbiliales) from arid ecosystems of the Canary Islands (Spain)

The genus Orbilia Fr. (Orbiliaceae Nannf.) was currently thought to comprise some dozens of species, being particularly common in temperate regions on woody substrates in moist habitats. During monographic work on the family Orbiliaceae over many years by the second author, species diversity turned out to be extremely higher, with presently about 330 species of Orbilia, and a strong preference of semihumid to arid, subtropical to tropical vegetation zones. The characterization of the genus and classification history of Orbiliaceae has been reviewed, e.g., in Liu et al. (2005) and Zhang et al. (2007, 2009).

Studies in Hyaloscyphaceae associated with major vegetation types in the Canary Islands II: a revision of Hyaloscypha

Abstract: Four species of the genus Hyaloscypha are presented for the Canary Islands. The study is based on recent collections and 12 previous records. The earlier reports of the genus (Hyaloscypha fuckelii, H. hyalina and H. leuconica) are corrected. All of the reported species are new to the Canarian archipelago (H. aureliella, H. intacta, H. spiralis and H. strobicola), and only one has been reported before from the Macaronesian region (H. aureliella). A key, descriptions, illustrations and notes about ecology are provided.

Lignicolous species of Helotiales associated with major vegetation types in the Canary Islands

Abstract: A historical worldwide overview of the family Helotiaceae in a broad sense and a revision of its members in the Canary Islands are presented. Nine lignicolous species are described in detail (Ascocoryne cylichnium, A. sarcoides, Chlorociboria aeruginascens, Cyathicula cyathoidea, C. hysterioides, Durella connivens, Pseudohelotium sordidulum, Strossmayeria basitricha and Velutarina rufoolivacea). The species of the genus Ascocoryne are revised and corrected. The genera Durella, Pseudohelotium and Velutarina are reported for first time for the Canary Islands, each with one species, as is Cyathicula hysterioides. Species considered closely related are briefly discussed.
