Sporormiella) was originally erected by Fuckel in 1866 and P. funiculata (Preuss) Fuckel was later designated as the type (Asgari & Zare 2010). Preussia resides in the family Sporormiaceae) order: Pleosporales, class: Dothideomycetes). The genus is species-rich and comprises coprophilous, saprotrophic, and endophytic taxa (Arenal et al. 2005, Chang & Wang 2009, Gonzalez-Menendez et al. 2017). Taxonomy of the genus Preussia has been debated since the description of the genus. In the past, Preussia has been differentiated from other morphologically similar genera, such as Sporormiella Ellis & Everhart and Sporormia De Not., based on differences in substrate/habitat and morphological criteria of ascomata e.g. presence or absence of ostiole (Kruys 2015, Chang & Wang 2009). However, the taxonomic significance of morphological features e.g. ostiole, has been questioned by several researchers since their development is influenced by substrate and growth conditions (von Arx, 1973; Guarro et al., 1997). Recent molecular studies provided a comprehensive refinement of the taxonomy of Preussia and allied genera (Chang & Wang 2009, Asgari & Zare 2010, Gonzalez-Menendez et al. 2017). Accordingly, Preussia and Sporormiella have been confirmed being congeneric (Kruys 2015). Kruys & Wedin (2009) performed a phylogenetic analysis based on ITS-rDNA, 28S, 18S, and β-tubulin, and proposed 12 new combinations for Sporormiella spp. in Preussia. We isolated a hitherto unknown species of Preussia from wood of apparently healthy of Ulmus carpinifilia in East Azerbaijan province, Northwest of Iran, which is now described based on morphological and molecular data as a new species, Preussia ulmi. } }
