Abstract

Aculeata gen. nov., Minimelanolocus thailandensis sp. nov., Thysanorea aquatica sp. nov. and Veronaea botryosa are described and illustrated from submerged wood collected from a freshwater habitat in Thailand. Morphological examination and phylogenetic analyses support the classification of the four isolates in Herpotrichiellaceae. Their relationships with other morphologically similar taxa are discussed. Veronaea botryosa is reported for the first time from a freshwater habitat.
