Two new species and one new record of <i>Xenosporium</i> with ellipsoidal or ovoid conidia from Taiwan

Three species of Xenosporium producing ellipsoidal or ovoid conidia were collected from decaying culms Miscanthus floridulus submerged in freshwater streams Alishan area, Chiayi County, Taiwan. formosiforme and X. parvulum are described illustrated as new species. africanum is this paper a record for The phylogenetic relationships related taxa sought by comparing the sequences their internal transcribed spacer (ITS) barcode, 28S rDNA, RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2) gene segments. Phylogenetic analysis these supports placement Tubeufiaceae. A synopsis given. criteria used to differentiate discussed.
