Abstract

The new genus Lambinonia Sérus. & Diederich is introduced for the lichenicolous hyphomycete Melanconium strigulae Elenkin & Woron. This species forms dark sporodochia on the surface or at the margin of the thalli, or extruding out of the perithecia and pycnidia of the foliicolous Strigula buxi, S. nemathora and S. nitidula. It is so far known from the western Caucasus (Georgia and Russia), southern Italy, Tenerife (Canary Islands), St-Lucia (West Indies), and Burundi and Rwanda in Africa. The new combination Lambinonia strigulae (Elenkin & Woron.) Sérus. & Diederich is introduced and a neotype collection is designated.
