Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper describes and illustrates five new species of Gloeandromyces(Ascomycota, Laboulbeniales) associated with tropical American bat flies (Diptera, Streblidae). These are Gloeandromyces cusucoensissp. nov. from Trichobius uniformisin Costa Rica and Honduras, G. diversiformissp. nov. from Strebla wiedemanniin Costa Rica, G. plesiosaurussp. nov. from Trichobius yunkeriin Panama, G. pseudodickiisp. nov. from Trichobius longipesin Ecuador and Panama, and G. verbekeniaesp. nov. from Strebla galindoiin Ecuador and Panama. The description of these five species doubles the number of known species in the genus. Morphological characteristics, host association, and a three-locus (18S nuc rDNA, 28S nuc rDNA, TEF1) phylogenetic reconstruction support placement of these taxa in the genus Gloeandromyces. Three of the new species are polymorphic; they have multiple morphotypes that grow in specific positions on the host integument: G. diversiformisf. diversiformis, f. musiformis, and f. vanillicarpiformis; G. plesiosaurusf. asymmetricusand f. plesiosaurus; and G. verbekeniaef. verbekeniaeand f. inflexus. Finally, a dichotomous key to all species and morphotypes is presented.
