status

 

Entophysalis cf. samoensis Wille (1913: 144) ( Figs. 12D–12E View FIGURES 12 ).

Polarized, fasciculate colonies, 21.0–115.3 × 8.4–85.1 µm. Sheath firm, hyaline to slightly yellow, conspicuous, nonlamellate, smooth. Cells elliptical, hemispherical, rarely spherical, 2.4–3.4 × 1.0–2.5 µm. Cell content homogenous to granulated, intensely blue-green.

Habitat: —Dry concrete.

Notes: — Entophysalis samoensis and the material found in the Atlantic Rainforest are similar in color and in the ‘coral shape’ of colonies. However, they differ by E. samoensis having a larger cell diameter (3–4 µm) and lamellate sheaths.

Studied material: — BRAZIL. São Paulo: Cananéia, State Park of “Ilha do Cardoso” ( Perequê ), 25º 4’ 8” S, 47º 55’ 12.24” W, 29 June 2010, W.A. Gama-Jr. & C.F.S. Malone (SP 401437) GoogleMaps .
