MB#3217 Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 35: 443 ( Thaxter 1900 ) . – Type species: M. dyschirii Thaxt. Brief description Monoecious. Receptacle multicelled, consisting of a lower uniseriate row of superposed cells and an upper region formed by irregularly arranged cells developed from subdivision of cell III. Antheridia immersed in primary appendage. Remarks The genus consists of two species: Misgomyces mastacis Balazuc (1975b) and M. dyschirii , only the latter in Europe. The genus Misgomyces has undergone many changes since its description, with many species having gone into and out of it. Thaxter (1931) added more species and transferred some species from Ecteinomyces and Hydrophilomyces . Tavares (1985) and Tavares & Majewski (1976) redefined the limits of the genus describing some new genera: Blasticomyces I.I.Tav. , Botryandromyces I.I.Tav. & T.Majewski , Dixomyces I.I.Tav. , Kyphomyces I.I.Tav. , Ormomyces I.I.Tav. and Siemaszkoa I.I.Tav. & T.Majewski. Misgomyces reicheiae (Santam.) Santam. and M. speluncae (Santam.) Santam. were added later ( Santamaria 1995a ) but their generic position should be reconsidered, especially M. reicheiae which is dioecious (unpublished observations by SS).
