abstract = {The genus Powellomyces was described to accommodate two monocentric chytrid species from soil that develop exogenously and possess zoosporic ultrastructure similar to other members of the order Spizellomycetales. Despite Powellomyces-like chytrids being commonly observed in gross culture, the genus contained only two species. To determine diversity in this group, I amassed 49 isolates of Powellomyces-like chytrids, including the cultures upon which species types were based and new isolates from pollen-baited water cultures of soils, plant detritus, and manure. I sequenced portions of nucSSU and nucLSU rDNA regions and the EF-1α-like gene from each isolate to produce a molecular phylogeny. This phylogeny supports monophyly of spizellomycetalean chytrids with exogenous development and suggests that multiple distinct lineages exist within this group. This phylogeny, along with a reevaluation of the ultrastructural features of the two described species, supports the recognition of a new family Powellomycetaceae and genus Geranomyces, which contains 31 isolates of G. variabilis comb. nov.}
