@ARTICLE{TreeBASE2Ref18530, author = {Alan John Lander Phillips and Artur Alves}, title = {Taxonomy, phylogeny, and epitypification of Melanops tulasnei, the type species of Melanops}, year = {2009}, keywords = {}, doi = {}, url = {}, pmid = {}, journal = {Fungal Diversity}, volume = {38}, number = {}, pages = {155--166}, abstract = {Melanops tulasnei was collected from dead twigs of Quercus ruber and identity was confirmed by comparing morphological features with the original description and with the neotype. A multi-gene phylogeny based on a portion of the 18S nuclear ribosomal gene, the nuclear rRNA cluster comprising the ITS region plus the D1/D2 variable domains of the LSU gene, together with the translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene and part of the beta-tubulin gene was constructed. In this phylogeny, M. tulasnei clustered with an isolate of Botryosphaeria quercuum near the root of the Botryosphaeriaceae. On account of the morphological and phylogenetic distinctions from other genera in the Botryosphaeriaceae, it is recommended that the genus Melanops should be reinstated. An epitype specimen of M. tulasnei was selected and ex-epitype cultures deposited in the public collection of CBS.} }
