Abstract

Berkleasmium crunisia sp. nov. is described from a decaying rachis of Calamus sp. (Arecaceae) from Khuan Ka Long, Satun Province, Thailand. This Berkleasmium species differs morphologically from other species in possessing subtending cells and larger conidia. The phylogenetic relationship of the genus Berkleasmium among sexual ascomycetes was also examined. Sequence analyses from 18S, 28S and ITS-5.8S rDNA were analysed phylogenetically under maximum parsimony, bayesian and neighbour- joining criteria. Phylogenies revealed that Berkleasmium is not monophyletic. Berkleasmium micronesicum and B. nigroapicale are phylogenetically related to Westerdykella cylindrica and Sporormia australis, which are members of the family Sporormiaceae (Pleosporales). Other species, including our new taxon, appear to share close phylogenetic affinities to other anamorphic fungi, whose classification within the Pleosporales are still obscure. Analyses also indicate that the 18S, 28S, ITS (+5.8S) rDNA and combined data (18S+28S) gene sequences fail to give enough phylogenetic resolution within the Pleosporales.
