Abstract

Through investigations on dematiaceous hyphomycetes on dead ligneous plant substrata, mainly in northern Japan, five species were newly added to the Japanese mycoflora: Corynespora trichiliae, Diplococcium stoveri, Ellisembia folliculata, Monodictys melanopa, and Paratomenticola lanceolata. Morphological characters with line drawings and cultural characteristics of these anamorphic fungi are reported. A new name, Helminthosporium magnisporum for H. gigasporum, and a new combination, Solicorynespora foveolata for H. foveolatum, are proposed.
