Abstract
Podospora is the valid genus for a group of coprophilous species in which the ascospores have appendages but no gelatinous sheaths. The type species is P. fimicola Cesati. The following new species found on dung are described and illustrated: P. absimilis, Tautira; P. brasiliensis, Brazil; P. castorinospora, Panama Canal Zone; P. comatospora, Venezuela, Tautira, and Moorea; P. curvuloides, Brazil; P. inflatula, Tautira and Brazil; P. nannopodalis, New York; P. ostlingospora, Mexico; P. papilliformis, Venezuela and Mexico; P. prethopodalis, Tautira, Moorea, and Paea. The following are transferred from Pleurage as new combinations in Podospora: P. adelura (Griff.), P. anomala (Griff.), P. arizonensis (Griff.), P. collapsa (Griff.), P. gwynne-vaughaniae (Page), P. heterochaeta (Griff.), P. hyalopilosa (Stratton), P. immersa (Stratton), P. kansensis (Griff.), P. longicaudata (Griff.), P. taenioides (Griff.) and P. unicaudata (C. & M. Moreau). The following are transferred from Sordaria as new combinations in Podospora: P. araneosa (Cain), P. cervina (Cain), P. coronifera (Grove), P. curvispora (Cain), P. dubia (Hansen), P. eminens (Cain), P. fimbriate, (Bayer), P. globosa (Massee & Salmon), P. glutinans (Cain), P. inaequalis (Cain), P. inaequilateralis (Cain), P. kilimandscharica (A. Schmidt), P. leporina (Cain), P. linguiformis (Cain), P. ontariensis (Cain), P. perplexens (Cain), P. pilosa (Mouton), P. piriformis (Bayer), P. tetraspora (Winter). The following are transferred from Philocopra as new combinations in Podospora: P. coeruleotecta (Rehm) and P. millespora (A. Schmidt).
