Abstract
A new genus, Halorosellinia, is introduced to accommodate the lignicolous m angrove inhabitant Hypoxylon oceanicum. A detailed illustrated account of t he teleomorphic and anamorphic states is given. Halorosellinia oceanica com b. nov., is compared with Stilbohypoxylon quisquiliarum and Nemania conflue ns (a reduced form of Nemania) and the reasons for introducing a new genus are discussed. Data on the ecology and geographical distribution of H. ocea nica are presented.
