Abstract

Four new species of Coemansia are described from Taiwan. Three produce spirally twisted sporangiophores and these new taxa increase the number of species in the Coemansia spiralis complex from three to six. Each new taxon is morphologically unique. Coemansia biformis sp. nov. has two different asexual reproductive types on the same thallus, with one has spiral fertile portion. Coemansia helicoidea sp. nov. has stoloniferous sporangiophores with a helicoid fertile region. Coemansia pennisetoides sp. nov. has a sporangiophore with a fertile region that resembles the inflorescence of the plant genus Pennnisetum. Coemansia umbellata sp. nov. has an umbellate sporangiophore branching pattern and a spirally twisted fertile region on the lowest branches. Phylogenetic analysis based on a combined dataset of D1-D2 domains of nuc 28S ribosomal RNA (rDNA) and partial nuc 18S rDNA identifies several independent evolutionary lineages within Coemansia and suggests that Spirodactylon aureum and Kickxella alabastrina may be nested within the genus Coemansia. Sequences of nuc rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS barcode) are also used to support the description of these new species of Coemansia.
