New species and new records of Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota) from Sierra Leone Rossi, Walter Leonardi, Marco Phytotaxa 2018 2018-07-04 358 2 91 116 3QY9T Thaxter, Memoirs Thaxter, Memoirs 1931 [136,589,1563,1588] Laboulbeniomycetes Laboulbeniaceae Kainomyces Fungi Laboulbeniales 13 104 Ascomycota species alutellae  ( Figures 4c and 4d)  Known distribution.Described on  Eleusis alutellaFauvelfrom Cameroon( Thaxter 1931) and subsequently recorded from Japanon  E. coarctataSharp ( Sugiyama 1973).  New record from Sierra Leone. Eastern Province, Gola Rainforest National Park, near Lalehun, 20–23.XI.2015, W. Rossi, on various parts of the body of  Eleusissp.   Remarks. The receptacle and the appendage of the thalli from Sierra Leonecan be almost completely hyaline ( Figure 4c) or variably suffused with dark brown on the posterior margin ( Figure 4d), which makes meaningless the differences between  K. alutellaeand  K. hyalinus. The latter was described on  Eleusis humilisErichsonfrom Taiwan. The record of  Kainomyces alutellaefrom Japanneeds confirmation: in the picture given by Sugiyama (1973, Plate 18, Fig.4) the cells of the receptacle seem to be divided by vertical septa, as in  K. isomali; the same are undivided in  K. alutellae.   FIGURE 4. a: male thallus of  Dimorphomyces decipiens. b: female thallus of  D. decipienswith focus on the receptacle. c:  Kainomyces alutellaewith hyaline receptacle. d:  K. alutellaewith partially blackened receptacle. e: mature thallus of  Laboulbenia camerunensis. f: immature thallus of  L. camerunensis. g:  Laboulbenia imitans. Scale bars: a = 25 μm; b, c, d, e, f, g = 50 μm.   Laboulbenia bolamensisSpegazzini, Anales del Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Buenos Aires26: 501, 1915.  Known distribution.Reported from Guinea-Bissau( type), India, Indonesia, Madagascarand Senegalon various species of  Styphlomerus( Coleoptera, Carabidae) ( Balazuc 1982).  New record from Sierra Leone. Northern Province, near Bumbuna, 14–15.VI.1987, W. Rossi, on  Styphlomerussp.  Remarks. The finding of this parasite in Sierra Leoneis not surprising because it was described from the nearby Guinea-Bissauon a similar host insect.
