ED3BCD6EFF8DFFBEFC4BAF1307B084E5.taxon	description	Conidiomata pycnidial, spheroidal, subperidermic, dark brown to black, ca. 158 µm diam., 132 - 138 µm high (M = 134.9); peridium of textura epidermoidea, ca. 20 µm thick. Conidiophores absent or represented by a cylindrical to quadrangular subhyaline cell, ca. 5 µm high. Conidiogenous cells ampulliform, enteroblastic, annelidic, with a small collarette, discrete or integrated, percurrent, smooth, hyaline, 9 - 15 × 2 - 5 µm (M = 10.9 × 2.9). Conidia slightly obovoid, enclosed by mucilaginous sheath (0.5 - 2 µm wide), aseptate, smooth, hyaline, 9 - 16 × 7 - 12 µm (M = 12.6 × 9.8; n = 20). Distribution and habitat. Growing on twigs of Geoffroea decorticans (Gillies ex Hook. & Arn.) Burkart (Bianchinotti, 1993) and on bark of Nothofagus pumilio in Argentina. On Salvadora oleoides Decne. and S. persica L. in India and Pakistan (Abbas & Sutton, 1988). Comments. The specimen described here is assigned to A. salvadorae because of the presence of enteroblastic conidiogenous cells and the size of conidia, which are the biggest in the genus (8 - 21.5 × 9 - 17.5 µm). The species is easily distinguishable from the other two in the genus, A. alcornii Sivan. & B. Sutton and A. philippinensis Petr. & Syd., because the first has holoblastic conidiogenous cells (4.5 - 7 µm high) and smaller (9 - 11 µm diam.), spherical, verrucose conidia, with a very thin, persistent mucilaginous sheath (less than 1 µm). The second, which is the type species, differs because conidia, of less size, are ellipsoidal to ovoid (6 - 10 × 4.5 - 5.5 µm) and are devoid of conidial sheath when mature. Material examined.

Comments. The material is fully consistent in all its features with the originally described growing on Fagus sylvatica and Betula sp. in England (Ellis, 1959). It only differs in having thicker hyphae than that (1.5 - 4 µm wide). Three species have been earlier found growing on Nothofagaceae hosts. One of them, B. biformatum (Hönh.) S. Hughes found on corticated branches of Nothofagus sp. in New Zealand, differs from B. atrum in the paler and smaller (18 - 40 × 7 - 9.4 µm), ellipsoidal to clavate, 3 to 9 septate conidia (Hughes, 1983). The second one is B. traversoanum (Peyronel) M. B. Ellis which differs from B. atrum in the length of the conidiophores (up to 35 µm) and in the shape (clavate to ellipsoidal) of the smaller conidia (20 - 37 × 8 - 12 µm) (Ellis, 1959). The third one, B. nothofagi J. A. Cooper, has paler and smaller conidia (47 - 55 × 18 - 25 μm) with more septa (5 - 8) (Cooper, 2005). Material examined. ARGENTINA.

Microconidia unicellular, ellipsoidal, apical end rounded, base truncate, smooth, hyaline, 2 - 10 × 1 - 3 μm (M = 6.4 × 2.5; n = 31). Distribution and habitat. Growing on bark of fallen branches and logs of N. pumilio in Argentina and on an indeterminate host in India (Subramanian & Muthumary, 1986). Comments. The material on Nothofagus fully agrees with the original description of the species. Besides the species reported here, the genus contains two other ones: D. lythri (D. F. Farr & Rossman) D. F. Farr & Rossman on leaves of Lythrum salicaria L. from the USA and D. punica K. V. Xavier, A. N. Kc, J. Z. Groenew., Vallad & Crous which is pathogenic to Punica granatum L. in the USA. The macroconidia of D. ramya are the longest in the genus (up to 30 μm), in D. lythri they are subglobose to ellipsoidal (up to 19 μm) and in D. punica broadly ellipsoid (up to 20 μm) (Subramanian & Muthumary, 1986).

Distribution and habitat. Growing on bark of N. antarctica in Argentina and in saline soil in Egypt (Moustafa & Ezz-Eldin, 1989). Comments. The specimen found in Patagonia could not be isolated, however diagnostic morphological features such as shape and size of conidiogenous cells and conidia fit well with those materials isolated from the soil of a salt marsh at north of Sinai (Egypt). The patagonian collection differs only in possessing conidiophores and having longer conidial chains (up to 8 conidia) than in Egyptian specimens (2 - 3 conidia) (Moustafa & Ezz-Eldin, 1989).

ED3BCD6EFF89FFBAFC4BACB307658245.taxon	description	Colonies superficial, discrete, punctate, irregular, dark brown, bright. Mycelium scarce, immerse, hyphae cylindrical, short, flexuous, thick walled, smooth, brown. Conidiophores semi-macronematous, cylindrical, long, smooth, hyaline, ca. 3 µm diam. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic, integrated, terminal, cylindrical, short, sometimes narrowing to the apex, smooth, brown, 5 - 19 × 4 - 8 (M = 11.4 × 5.6).

Monosporic isolates were done on NA, NGA and PDA following Goh (1999) and placing groups of conidia over small pieces of sterilized Nothofagus wood. Sporulation was observed at 7 days and formation of yellow crystals appeared in some 4 months old cultures. Distribution and habitat. Growing on the bark of stems of Lophozonia alpina and L. obliqua in Argentina; on bark of a dead branch of fallen Sorbus aucuparia L. tree in Belarus (Yurchenko, 2001); on Betula papyrifera Marshall and Betula sp. from Canada (Hughes, 1960, 1987); on standing senescent culms of Bambusa sp. and Miscanthus floridulus (Labill.) Warb. ex K. Schum. & Lauterb. in China (Wong & Hyde, 2001); on Betula sp. in Czech Republic (Corda, 1938); on Nectandra sp. in Cuba (Mercado Sierra, 1981); on bark of Eucalyptus tereticornis Sm. and Eucalyptus sp. in India (Prasher & Verma, 2016); Prunus yedoensis Matsum. in Japan (Matsushima, 1975); on indeterminate bark, twig and decayed wood from Mexico (Heredia-Abarca, 1998); on dead wood of Betula pendula Roth and Quercus robur L. in Lithuania (Treigiené & Markovskaja, 2003; Markovskaja & Treigiené 2005); on unidentified wood and bark from Malawi (Sutton, 1993); on different parts of Rubus gracilis J. Presl & C. Presl and Rubus sp. and bark of Sizyngium cumini (L.) Skeels in Pakistan (Abbas & Sobia, 2008); on B. pendula and Quercus sp. in Poland (Kieruczenko, 1976); on stems of Chrysanthemum coreanum (H. Lév. & Vaniot) Nakai ex T. Mori. and cuttings of Rhododendron sp. and branches of R. dauricum L. and R. sichotense Pojark. from Russia (Melnik & Papushoi, 1992; Melnik 2000; Pavlyuk, 2009); on unidentified twigs in Taiwan (Matsushima, 1980); on B. pendula in Scotland, Ukraine and United Kingdom (Hughes, 1951; Hayova, 2011); on wood of Acer saccharum Marshall and Lonicera canadensis Bartram & W. Bartram ex Marshall in the USA (Barr, 1978; Mack, 2022), and on Glycyrrhiza glabra L. in Uzbekistan (Gafforov, 2017). Comments. The specimen found in Patagonia agrees well with the original, just for a slight difference in the size of conidiogenous cells. Species of Monodictys are widely spread around the world. When compared with the only three species previously recorded in South America, M. paradoxa is distinct from M. castaneae (Wallr.) S. Hughes, found on leaves of Eucalyptus spp. in Brazil, because this latter has conidia formed by a few cells, with verrucose walls and truncate base (Wellbaum et al., 1999). It differs from M. glauca (Cooke & Harkn.) S. Hughes, recorded on bark of Nothofagus betuloides in Tierra del Fuego (Argentina), due to its smaller conidia (7 - 14 × 5 - 10 µm) (Godeas & Arambarri, 2007). Lastly it could be distinguished from M. pelagica (T. Johnson) E. B. G. Jones, recorded on bark of an indeterminate plant in Chile, for having undifferentiated conidiophores and conidiogenous cells, and slightly smaller conidia that when mature they turn completely black so septa are not visible (34 - 44 × 17 - 31 µm) (Hughes & Chamut, 1971).
