Triscelophorus Ingold, Trans. Br. mycol. Soc. 26(3-4): 151 (1943).

Description.

Ingold 1943.

Type species.

Triscelophorus monosporus Ingold, Trans. Br. mycol. Soc. 26(3-4): 152 (1943).

Notes.

Triscelophorus was established by Ingold, with T. monosporus as type species ( Ingold 1943). The genus is characterised by macronematous, mononematous, erect, straight or flexuous, sometimes sinuate, septate, unbranched or sparingly branched, hyaline, smooth conidiophores. The conidiogenous cells are monoblastic, sometimes sympodially extended, integrated, hyaline that produce a solitary, acrogenous, septate, staurospore composed of a main axis and 3 or more branches verticillate arranged from the basal cell of the main axis ( Ingold 1943; Seifert et al. 2011). Duarte et al. (2015) found that Triscelophorus was polyphyletic, based on ITS analysis, but our phylogenetic analysis, based on two-loci and ITS, showed the genus should be monophyletic.
