Abstract

The genus Haligena (Halosphaeriales, Ascomycota), with two accepted species, is frequently encountered in marine habitats, especially on wood in temperate regions. Phylogenetic analyses of Haligena elaterophora (type species) and H. salina were undertaken, using partial large subunit ribosomal DNA sequences, to determine their relationships with other closely related genera in the order. The genus was shown to be polyphyletic within the Halosphaeriales, with the type species forming a basal clade to the order. Haligena salina constituted a sister group with Neptunella longirostris. Haligena elaterophora and H. salina differ significantly in the nature of their ascospore appendages: wider, more sticky and strap-like in H. elaterophora , and spoon-shaped at the point of attachment, while in H. salina they are longer and narrower, finely drawn out filaments. A new genus, Morakotiella, is introduced to accommodate H. salina.
