Abstract

Ophiostoma species, some of which cause sapstain in timber and/or are mild pathogens, are common fungal associates of bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytinae). Very little is known regarding the ophiostomatoid fungi associated with bark beetles in Spain. A previous study of sapstain fungi associated with fourteen insect species colonizing Pinus radiata in northern Spain yielded nineteen fungal species including three common pathogens and four important agents of sapstain of lumber. Three new species of Ophiostoma were recognized in the present study based on comparisons of sequence data for three gene regions as well as morphological characteristics. The new taxa are described as Ophiostoma nebulare sp. nov., Ophiostoma euskadiense sp. nov., and Graphilbum crescericum sp. nov.
