Comment.

In this study, Milesina spp. on Abies alba were only sequenced but not morphologically analysed.

Subgeneric classification

Four morphological groups can be distinguished within Milesina with respect to germ pore number, germ pore size, germ pore position and distribution of spines on the spore surface (Figures 6 a–r, 7 d–f, Table. 4). The morphological differentiation corresponds with the differentiation in four clades found by molecular data (Figure. 1, right panel).
