An Evaluation of the Fungal Genus Endothia
Of the several species ascribed to the genus Endothia or its imperfect state, Endothiella, four, Endothia sordida, Endothia parryi, Endothia nitschkei and Endothiella robiniae, have been removed from the genus. Since materials of Endothia tetraspora and Endothiella simoniani have not been examined, the status of these taxa is uncertain. The synonymy of E. longirostris with E. radicalis and of E. tropicalis with E. havanensis is being studied. The position of E. eugeniae is doubtful because of the atypical stromata, the absence of bisanthraquinone pigments and the ovoid rather than bacilliod conidia. Endothia coccolobii, E.gyrosa, E. havanensis, E. japonica, E. macrospora, E. parasitica, E. radicalis, E. singularis, and E.viridistroma are retained as discrete species.
