Abstract

Species of tropical tar spot fungi (Phyllachorales, Ascomycota) are obligate biotrophic plant parasitic fungi that are associated with living leaves of a wide range of families of host plants mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. In this study, samples of tropical tar spot fungi were collected in forests in Costa Rica and Panama. Morphology, information on host plants, and combined multi-gene phylogeny (ITS, nrLSU, nrSSU and TEF1) were used to identify taxa. Here we propose one new species in the genus Camarotella and eight new species in Telimena with their morphological descriptions, illustrations and sequence data. The newly described species are Camarotella licaniae on Licania arborea (Chrysobalanaceae) and in the genus Telimena: T. billiae on Billia rosea (Sapindaceae), T. drymoniae on Drymonia multiflora (Gesneriaceae), T. hydrangeae on Hydrangea sp. (Hydrangeaceae), T. miravallensis on Symplocos panamensis (Symplocaceae), T. protii on Protium sp. (Burseraceae), T. rinoreae on Rinorea sp. (Violaceae), T. semialarii on Semialarium mexicanum (Celastraceae), and T. triseptata on Tapirira mexicana (Anacardiaceae). The new name Telimena schlegeliae on Schlegelia brachyanta (Schlegeliaceae) is presented to replace Phyllachora nitens Garman, a homonym of Ph. nitens (L?v.) Cooke. Eleven species of Phyllachora are transferred to Telimena, leading to the new combinations: T. canarii, T. galavisii, T. insueta, T. ruelliae, T. scutiformis, T. serjaniicola, T. spicatae, T. subrepens, T. symploci, and T. symplocicola. Additionally, revisions of tar spot fungi on host families Burseraceae, Sapindaceae, and Symplocaceae are provided, and four new synonyms are proposed.
