Triseptata Boonmee & Phookamsak, in Boonmee et al., Phytotaxa 447(4): 257 (2020).
Index Fungorum number: IF 557185; Facesoffungi number: FoF 07229, 1 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 1 species with molecular data.
Saprobic on dried branches of an unidentified plant. Sexual morph: Ascostromata immersed to slightly erumpent, visible as black spots, single or clustered, scattered or gregarious, uni- to multi-locular, globose to subglobose, with or without basal stroma, dark brown, obscure ostiole. Peridium comprising several layers of dark brown cells of textura angularis. Hamathecium comprising cylindrical, branched, septate, anastomosed, hyaline pseudoparaphyses. Asci 8-spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, cylindrical-clavate, sessile, apically rounded. Ascospores 1–2-seriate, partially overlapping, ellipsoid-fusiform, straight or slightly curved, regularly 3–septate, darkened and constricted at the septa, the second cell from the top slightly wider than the others, asymmetrical ends, light brown to brown, smooth-walled. Asexual morph: hyphomycetous conidia-like structures in culture. Conidiophores and conidiogenous cells absent. Conidia superficial, globose to subglobose, multiseptate, brown to dark brown, smooth-walled (adapted from Boonmee et al. 2020).
Type species: Triseptata sexualis Boonmee & Phookamsak
Notes: Triseptata was introduced by Boonmee and Phookamsak in Boonmee et al. (2020) with T. sexualis as type species. Triseptata is characterised by uni- to multi-loculate ascomata, filamentous pseudoparaphyses, cylindrical-clavate asci, with 3-septate, light brown ascospores. Triseptata is morphologically and phylogenetically a distinct genus in Latoruaceae. Molecular markers available for Triseptata include LSU, SSU, ITS, RPB2 and TEF-1.
