Diversispora nevadensis (Palenz., N. Ferrol, Azcón-Aguilar & Oehl) Tedersoo & Magurno comb. nov.

Entrophospora nevadensis Palenz., N. Ferrol, Azcón-Aguilar & Oehl, in Palenzuela, Barea, Ferrol & Azcón-Aguilar, Mycologia 102 (3): 627 (2010). Basionym.

Description.

See Palenzuela et al. (2010).

Diagnosis.

Diversispora nevadensis differs from other species of the Diversispora by producing entrophosporoid (tricisporoid) spores compared with diversisporoid and acaulosporoid (otosporoid) spores in other species. Glomerospores with inner flexible hyaline wall layers without granular beaded surface and no Melzer reaction. Phylogenetically nested in Diversispora based on the SSU- ITS - LSU phylogram (Fig. 1, Suppl. material 1).

Notes.

The new combination invites an amendment of the genus Diversispora to accommodate species with entrophosporoid (tricisporoid) spores.
