TAILIEUCHUNG - A new record for Asia: Abrothallus tulasnei M. Cole & D. Hawksw. (dothideomycetes, ascomycota) from Turkey

Abrothallus tulasnei M. Cole & D. Hawksw. 2001, a species which is only known from North America and Austria in Europe, is recorded for the first time from North Anatolia in Asia. Notes on the Turkish specimen are presented and the differences between it and the other Abrothallus De Not. species which are lichenicolous on Xanthoparmelia species are discussed. | Turk J Bot 32 (2008) 325-328 © TÜBİTAK Research Note A New Record for Asia: Abrothallus tulasnei M.

Cole & D. Hawksw. (Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) Özet: Sadece Kuzey Amerika ve Avrupa’da Avusturya’dan bilinen Abrothallus tulasnei M. Cole & D. Hawksw. 2001 Asya’da Kuzey Anadolu’da ilk defa rapor edilmiştir. Türkiye’den toplanan bu türe ait örnek hakkında notlar sunulmuş ve Xanthoparmelia türleri üzerinde likenikol olan diğer Abrothallus türleri ile farklılıkları tartışılmıştır. Anahtar Sözcükler: Ascomycota, likenikol fungus, Vouauxiomyces Introduction The genus Abrothallus De Not. 1845 comprises 38 species that have a lichenicolous, commensalistic, and non-lichenised life habit. Members of this genus are especially found as lichenicolous on parmelioid lichens. It is unknown if one species can grow on several hosts, or if each host genus has its own Abrothallus species (Diederich, 2004; Suija, 2006). Moreover, the taxonomic value of some characters, especially the iodine reaction of the mycelium has been considered controversial by different authors (Kotte, 1909; Keissler, 1930; Hawksworth, 1981, 1983; Clauzade et al., 1989; Diederich, 2004; .
