Sequence comparison for the ITS region between <i>Barrmaelia nixiensis</i> (KUNCC 21-0642) and <i>Barrmaelia macrospora</i> (CBS 142768) showed a 1.86 % (10 / 538 bp, without gaps) base pair difference, 2 % (15 / 751 bp, without gaps) base pair difference for <i>tef</i> 1 - a region. Morphologically, <i>Barrmaelia nixiensis</i> differs from <i>B. macrospora</i> in having comparatively smaller asci (75–95 × 5–6 vs. 108–143 × 9–11) with long pedicellate, smaller asci ascospores (8.5–11 × 3.2–4 vs. (18.2 –) 20.5–24.0 (- 26.0) × (4.0 –) 4.8–5.9 (- 6.5)), while <i>B. macrospora</i> has larger asci with short stipe and larger ascospores with a lighter coloured band at the concave side and germ slit (Voglmayr et al. 2018). Based on morphology and the phylogenetic distinctiveness, we introduce <i>Barrmaelia nixiensis</i> as a new species.</p> |
