gi, all ascomycetes, include members of three new genera, six new spec
ies and one new record. Aquasphaeria dimorphospora gen. et sp. nov., C
lohiesia corticola gen. et. sp. nov. and Potamomyces armatisporus gen,
et. sp. nov. are new genera and are described and illustrated with di
fferential interference micrographs. New species include Annulatascus
biatriisporus, Iodosphaeria aquatica and Massarina bipolaris, while Tr
