Abstract

We constructed a comprehensive phylogeny of the genus Genea, with new molecular data from samples collected in several countries in temperate and Mediterranean Europe, as well as North America. Type specimens and original material from the authors of most species were examined to support identifications. The molecular identity of the most common species in Genea was compared with internal transcribed spacer rDNA (ITS), ribosomal large subunit (nuc 28S) and translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF1) profiles of ten recently proposed taxa (G. brunneocarpa, G. compressa, G. dentata, G. fageticola, G. lobulata, G. oxygala, G. pinicola, G. pseudobalsleyi, G. pseudoverrucosa and G. tuberculata), supporting their status as independent species. Genea mexicana and G. thaxteri on the one hand, and Genea sphaerica and G. lespiaultii on the other, are closely related. Multiple genetic lineages were recorded for G. verrucosa and G. fragrans, but we found no morphological traits to discriminate among them, so we tentatively interpreted them as cryptic species. A key to the genus Genea is provided to facilitate identification of the recently described species. We provide macroscopic images of fresh specimens and of representative spores of most species. Finally, we conducted a molecular analysis of the divergence time for the genus Genea and discuss the implications of our results.
