abstract = {During a survey of aero-aquatic fungi in Thailand, an undescribed helicosporous fungus was discovered. It is characterized by the presence of branched and septate hyphae with hyaline coniodiophores that are micronematous or semi?macronematous, acrogenous and holoblastic. Conidia, coiled in a three-dimensional plane, are hyaline and centrifugally coiled (excentric), helicoid or circinate, coiled 2-3 times clockwise or counterclockwise. After comparison of morphological and molecular characters with other aero aquatic, helicosporous fungi, it is proposed to introduce a new genus and species Helicocentralis hyalina gen. et sp. nov. Phylogenetic analyses based on the combined sequence data from the nuclear small and large subunits ribosomal DNA (SSU and LSU), as well as ITS rDNA sequence data, the fungus groups within the Leotiomycetes with strong statistical support. The new genus is not related to other helicosporous hyphomycete genera (Helicoma, Helicomyces, Helicoön, and Helicosporium), which belong in the Tubeufiaceae, Dothideomycetes. Within the Leotiomycetes our new fungus is distantly related to Helicodendron paradoxum (the type species). The new fungus is also compared morphologically to six similar helicosporous genera from Dothideomycetes and Leotiomycetes.}
