Parahevansia Mongkolsamrit & Noisripoom
gen. nov.
Type species.
Parahevansia koratensis
(Hywel-Jones) Mongkolsamrit & Noisripoom, comb. nov., Mycol. Res. 100: 1067 (1996).
Etymology.
Morphologically resembling the genus
Hevansia
, but being phylogenetically distinct.
Description.
Asexual morph:
Synnemata
arising from all parts of host, numerous, simple, brown at the sterile base becoming grey white with fertile part.
Conidiogenous cells
phialidic producing upper part of the synnemata.
Phialides
in a monolayer, single on basal lateral cells of synnemata, crowded, obovoid to ellipsoid with distinct necks.
Conidia
in chain, hyaline, smooth-walled, clavate.
Notes.
Parahevansia koratensis
, the type species of this genus, was originally described as species of
Akanthomyces
(Hywel-Jones, 1996) and later transferred to
Hevansia
(
Kepler et al. 2017
). Our multi-gene phylogenetic analyses supported
Parahevansia
as a monophyletic clade with strong support (MLB = 100 / BPP = 1.00, Fig.
1
). Therefore, we introduced
Parahevansia
as a new genus that accommodates a single species,
Pa. koratensis
.
