Hysterocarina
Hysterocarina H. Zogg, Ber. schweiz. bot. Ges. 59: 42 (1949).
Index Fungorum number: IF 2465; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08057, 1 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), no molecular data available.
Saprobic on old wood of Eucalyptus sp. Sexual morph: Ascomata hysterothecial, coriaceous, hardly erumpent, dark brown to black, longitudinal to host surface, flat or slightly convex on top, gregarious, subglobose to globose, immersed to semi-immersed, with a central ostiole. Ostiole brown to back, periphysate. Peridium composed of cells of textura angularis. Hamathecium comprising numerous, filiform, hypha-like, septate pseudoparaphyses. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical, bitunicate, rounded apex, short to mostly long-pedicellate, arising from the ascoma base. Ascospores overlapping uniseriate, ellipsoidal, dark brown, muriform, smooth-walled, with mucilaginous sheath, constricted at the septa, thick-walled. Asexual morph: Unknown (adapted from Doilom et al. 2018).
Type species: Hysterocarina paulistae H. Zogg
Notes: Hysterocarina is characterised by an evaginated keel-like fissure and pigmented dictyospores. Boehm et al. (2009) postulated that Hysterocarina belong to an evolutionary trend close to Mytilinidiaceae and Gloniaceae. The taxonomic placement of Hysterocarina is uncertain and molecular data is needed for further studies.
