Harmoniella campanaensis sp nov from central Chile

Abstract

A new hyphomycete, Harmoniella campanaensis, is described from submerged dicotyledonous leaves collected in La Campana National Park, central Chile. This fungus is the second taxon described in Harmoniella and the only one known from the Americas. Harmoniella campanaensis differs from the generic type, H. chrysocephala, by producing much longer conidiophores )with stipes up to 850 mu m) and shorter conidia )3-5 mu m long).
