Type
species:
R. pallidus
Thaxt.
Brief description
Monoecious. Receptacle three-celled. Primary appendage free, consisting of several superposed cells bearing lateral sterile branches. Clustered antheridia on branchlets arising from corner cells on cell III and lower cells of appendage axis. Perithecium with four cells in each vertical row of outer wall cells.
Remarks
The genus consists of two or three species depending on whether
Rhadinomyces cristatus
Thaxt.
is regarded as a synonym of
R. pallidus
; the other species is
Rhadinomyces gracilis
(Thaxt.) I.I.Tav.
from
Argentina
and
Uruguay
(
Tavares 1985
). The segregation of this genus from
Corethromyces
has been widely debated. According to the literature
Rhadinomyces
is distinguished from
Corethromyces
because in the former some antheridial branchlets arise from corner cells of axial cells in the appendage.A thorough revision of the genus
Corethromyces
and allied genera is highly desirable, but this will require the help of molecular techniques.
