Type
species:
C. melanopus
Thaxt.
Brief description
Monoecious. Receptacle three-celled (
Fig. 75B
). Primary appendage consisting of a flattened basal cell and a distal compound antheridium. Primary septum constricted and ± darkened. Antheridium ± conical, consisting of several regular rows of sterile cells and phialides; terminated with a pointed apex where the discharging pore is located (
Fig. 75A
, arrow). Perithecium with four cells in each vertical row of outer wall cells.
Remarks
The genus consists of nine species, with only
C. europaeus
known in Europe. The most recently described species is
C. africanus
(
Rossi & Leonardi 2018
)
. The terminal compound antheridium in the primary appendage relates this genus with others like
Haplomyces
,
Neohaplomyces
,
Euhaplomyces
,
Eucantharomyces
, and
Porophoromyces
. In
Camptomyces
and
Porophoromyces
, the original spore apex opens and transforms into the spermatia discharge pore, whereas in the other genera it remains as a closed spinous process.
