Notes -Fitzroyomyces is a new genus of coelomycetes that is septoria-like in morphology, but phylogenetically distinct from the genera presently known in this complex (see  Quaedvlieg et al. 2013 , Verkley et al. 2013).

On MEA and PDA surface and reverse pale luteous. On OA surface dirty white. Typus. auStralia, New South Wales, Fitzroy Falls, Morton National Park, on leaves of Lambertia formosa (Proteaceae), 26 Nov. 2016, P. W. Crous (holotype CBS H-23285, culture ex-type CPC 32211 = CBS 143423, ITS and LSU sequences GenBank MG386049 and MG386102, MycoBank MB823398). Notes -Neocrinula was recently introduced for a synnematal fungus occurring on Xanthorrhoea in Australia  (Crous et al. 2017a). Neocrinula lambertiae differs from N. xanthorrhoeae in the sense that it does not form synnemata, but rather forms sporodochia in culture (although solitary conidiophores when observed on the host in vivo). The fact that synnemata and solitary conidiophores could occur in the same genus as has been noted by  Videira et al.
(2016)  in the Ramularia generic complex. The phialidic mode of conidiogenesis, and hyaline, aseptate, fusoid-ellipsoid conidia are the same, suggesting that N. lambertiae represents the second species of the genus. Based on a megablast search using the ITS sequence, the closest matches in NCBIs GenBank nucleotide database were Neocrinula xanthorrhoeae (GenBank KY173414; Identities 489/517 (95 %), 2 gaps (0 %)), Claussenomyces kirschsteinianus (GenBank KY689628; Identities 470/532 (88 %), 12 gaps (2 %)) and Davidhawksworthia ilicicola (GenBank KU728517; Identities 461/520 (89 %), 16 gaps (3 %)).

5 -)4(-5) µm. Culture characteristics -Colonies erumpent, spreading, surface folded, with moderate aerial mycelium and smooth, lobate margins, reaching 15 mm diam after 2 wk at 25 °C. On MEA, PDA and OA surface and reverse iron-grey. Typus. auStralia, New South Wales, Barren Grounds Nature Reserve, on leaves of Gahnia sieberiana (Cyperaceae), 26 Nov. 2016, P. W.

Notes -The only cercosporoid fungus known from Gahnia is Zasmidium gahniae, occurring on G. lacera and G. setifolia in New Zealand. It is characterised by having solitary, straight, cylindrical to narrowly obclavate, pluriseptate conidia (20-300 × 3-5 μm;  Braun et al. 2014) , and is thus quite distinct from those of Z.
Culture characteristics -Colonies flat, spreading, with sparse aerial mycelium and feathery, lobate margins, reaching 30 mm diam after 2 wk at 25 °C. On MEA surface pale olivaceous grey, reverse smoke grey. On PDA surface and reverse smoke grey. On OA surface iron-grey. Notes -Codinaea (setulate conidia) is distinguished from Dictyochaeta (asetulate conidia)  (Réblová & Winka 2000) , and thus the present collection is described as a new species of Codinaea. Phylogenetically, C. lambertiae is part of the C. simplex species complex  (Hughes & Kendrick 1968 , Crous et al. 2014b ), but appears to be distinct based on DNA sequence. Based on a megablast search using the ITS sequence, the closest matches in NCBIs GenBank nucleotide database were Dictyochaeta simplex (GenBank EF029193; Identities 506/514 (98 %), 1 gap (0 %)), Dictyochaeta fertilis (GenBank AF178540; Identities 491/501 (98 %), 3 gaps (0 %)) and Codinaea pini (GenBank NR_137943; Identities 490 / 530 (92 %), 20 gaps (3 %)).

Conidiogenous cells mostly terminal, subcylindrical, hyaline, smooth, 15 -20 × 3-4 µm, proliferating percurrently at apex.
Saccharata hakeigena is morphologically similar to S. hakeae, but can be distinguished based on the presence of paraphyses (absent in S. hakeae), and its DNA phylogeny.

Sympoventuria melaleucae adds one additional taxon to the genus, this time occurring on Proteaceae, but again collected in the southern hemisphere. Sympoventuria melaleucae (conidia 0-1-septate, (8-)11-17(-25) × 2-3 µm) can be distinguished from S. capensis (conidia (1-)3(-5)-septate, 10-65 × 2. 5-5 μm;  Crous et al. 2007) , in that it has smaller, 0-1-septate conidia.

On PDA surface buff, reverse chestnut. On OA surface buff. Notes -Pilidium (Hainesia synasexual morphs, and Discohainesia sexual morphs) was recently treated by  Rossman et al. (2004)  and  Marin-Felix et al. (2017). Pilidium anglicum is phylogenetically closely related to P. acerinum (conidia 8. 5-14. 5 × 1. 5-2. 5 μm;  Rossman et al. 2004 ) and P. eucalyptorum (conidia 5-8 × 1. 5-2. 5 µm;  Crous et al. 2015c) , though these species have smaller conidia than those of P. anglicum (conidia 12 -15 × 1. 5-2 µm). Based on a megablast search using the ITS sequence, the closest matches in NCBIs GenBank nucleotide database were P. acerinum (GenBank NR_119500; Identities 461/471 (98 %), 2 gaps (0 %)), P. concavum (GenBank AY487094; Identities 452/470 (96 %), 3 gaps (0 %)) and P. eucalyptorum (GenBank KT950854; Identities 448/465 (96 %), 1 gaps (0 %)).
The highest similarities using the LSU sequence were P. acerinum (Gen-Bank AY487092; Identities 833/841 (99 %), no gaps), P. eucalyptorum (GenBank KT950868; Identities 789/798 (99 %), no gaps) and P. concavum (GenBank KF255414; Iden tities 824/847 (99 %), no gaps). Classification -Sympoventuriaceae, Venturiales, Dothideomycetes. Mycelium consisting of smooth, pale brown, septate, branched, 2 -3 µm diam hyphae. Conidiophores erect, subcylindrical, medium brown, smooth, mostly unbranched, 0 -2-septate, 7-25 × 3 -4 µm. Conidiogenous cells terminal, subcylindrical, medium brown, smooth, 10 -17 × 3 -4 µm; apex with one to several sympodial loci, thickened, darkened, somewhat refractive, 1 µm diam. Conidia occurring in long chains, rarely branched. Ramoconidia uncommon, medium brown, smooth, fusoid-ellipsoid to subcylindrical, 0 -1-septate, 10 -20 × 3-4 µm.
