P. Dobbeler et J. Carranza, 4 NEW SPECIES OF NECTRIA (HYPOCREALES, AS COMYCETES) FROM EPIPHILOUS HEPATICS OF COSTA-RICA, Revista de biologia tropical, 41(2), 1993, pp. 203-208
Four new bryophilous species of the genus Nectria (Hypocreales, Ascomy
cetes) from Costa Rica, are described, discussed and illustrated: Nect
ria brenesii Dobb. & Carr., N. lankesteri Dobb. & Carr., N. perianthic
ola Dobb. & Carr., and turrialbae N. Dobb. & Carr. All grow as parasit
es on epiphilous hepatics which seem to be a rich but nearly unknown s
ubstrate for nectrioid fungi.
