Abstract
Neoarachnotheca is proposed as a new genus of Onygenales. The outstand ing generic characteristics are white, spherical ascomata with a wall formed by a network of hyphae and spherical, subhyaline ascospores wit h an irregular sheath. Nt. keratinophila, the type species, characteri zed by wavy peridial hyphae has been isolated from marine and river se diments and Myriodontium keratophilum is its anamorph. Nannizziopsis t ropicalis is proposed as a new species based on a strain isolated from soil in Burundi. RFLPs analysis of ITS and 5.8S rDNA support these pr oposals. The differences with related genera are discussed.
