abstract = {Strains with a yeast-like appearance were frequently collected in two surveys on the biodiversity of fungi
in Germany, either associated with necroses in wood of Prunus trees in orchards in Saxony, Lower Saxony and
Baden-W?rttemberg or captured in spore traps mounted on grapevine shoots in a vineyard in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The morphology of the strains was reminiscent of the genus Collophorina: all strains produced aseptate conidia on
integrated conidiogenous cells directly on hyphae, on discrete phialides, adelophialides and by microcyclic conidiation,
while in some strains additionally endoconidia or conidia in conidiomata were observed. Blastn searches with
the ITS region placed the strains in the Leotiomycetes close to Collophorina spp. Analyses based on morphological
and multi-locus sequence data (LSU, ITS, EF-1α, GAPDH) revealed that the 152 isolates from wood of Prunus spp.
belong to five species including C. paarla, C. africana and three new species. A further ten isolates from spore traps
belonged to seven new species, of which one was isolated from Prunus wood as well. However, a comparison with
both LSU and ITS sequence data of these collophorina-like species with reference sequences from further Leotiomycetes
revealed the genus Collophorina to be polyphyletic and the strains to pertain to several genera within the
Phacidiales. Collophorina paarla and C. euphorbiae are transferred to the newly erected genera Pallidophorina and
Ramoconidiophora, respectively. The new genera Capturomyces, Variabilispora and Vexillomyces are erected to
accommodate five new species isolated from spore traps. In total nine species were recognised as new to science
and described as Collophorina badensis, C. germanica, C. neorubra, Capturomyces funiculosus, Ca. luteus, Tympanis
inflata, Variabilispora flava, Vexillomyces palatinus and V. verruculosus.}
