Fuscutata cerradensis (Spain & J. Miranda) Tedersoo & Magurno comb. nov.

Scutellospora cerradensis Spain & J. Miranda, Mycotaxon 60: 130 (1996). Basionym.

Dentiscutata cerradensis Sieverd., F. A. Souza & Oehl, Mycotaxon 106: 342 (2009). Synonym.

Description.

See Spain and Miranda (1996).

Diagnosis.

Fuscutata cerradensis differs from other species of the Fuscutata by spore wall ornamentation, three-walled spores and dark-pigmented multilobed germinal shield produced in the inner wall. Phylogenetically forms a monophyletic clade with F. heterogama - the type species of genus - based on the SSU- ITS - LSU phylogram (Fig. 1, Suppl. material 1).

Notes.

The new combination invites an amendment of genus Fuscutata to accommodate species with dark, multilobed germinal shields. However, we decided not to prepare an amendment for Fuscutata because the genus Dentiscutata, their close relative, requires additional information to confirm their status, supported only in the LSU sequence of D. nigra .
