Abstract

The phylogeny of Cryptosporella is revised to include recently discovered species. Eight species new to science are described and two new combinations are proposed, raising the total number of species accepted in Cryptosporella to 19. The species delimitation and phylogeny for Cryptosporella is determined based on analyses of DNA sequences from three genes (β-tubulin, ITS, and tef1-α), comparative morphology of sexual structures on their host substrate, and host associations. The inferred phylogeny suggests that Cryptosporella has speciated primarily on Betulaceae with 16 species occurring exclusively on that plant family. The host range of most species seems to be narrow with nine species reported only from a single host species or subspecies and seven species occurring on congeneric host species. The known distribution range of Cryptosporella is expanded to mountain cloud forests of the provinces of Chiriqu? in Panama and Tucum?n in Argentina.
