Common, unsightly and until now undescribed: Fumiglobus pieridicola sp. nov., a Sooty mold infesting Pieris japonica from western North America.
Mycologia, 2014Co-Authors: Tanay Bose, Don R. Reynolds, Mary L. BerbeeAbstract:Sooty Molds (Capnodiaceae) are saprotrophs on the surfaces of leaves, and they take their nutrients from honeydew exuded by sap-sucking insects. We describe and illustrate the Sooty mold Fumiglobus pieridicola sp. nov., which, to the dismay of gardeners, forms a thick black mycelial coating on the leaves and twigs of ornamental Japanese andromeda (Pieris japonica) in western North America. As a mitosporic species with a pycnidium that lacks an elongated neck and has at most a rudimentary stalk, the species belongs in the genus Fumiglobus. Although locally common, we found no specimens identified under Fumiglobus or its synonyms in regional herbaria and no record of any similar fungus in host indices. Our species differs from others in Fumiglobus in having smaller pycnidia and conidia and in having intercalary as well as apical pycnidia. We determined partial 18S and 28S ribosomal gene sequences for F. pieridicola, the first for any Fumiglobus species. Sequence analysis provides strong bootstrap support fo...

HeteroconiumandPirozynskiellan. gen., with comments on conidium transseptation
Mycologia, 2007Co-Authors: S.j. HughesAbstract:Heteroconium citharexyli, the type species of this genus, is illustrated and redescribed as a Sooty mold bearing acropetal chains of conidia showing a basifugal sequence of septation. Heteroconium neriifoliae, H. glutinosa and the Heteroconium synanamorph of Antennulariella concinna are congeneric. The latter species is neotypified, illustrated and described. Pirozynskiella new genus, typified by P. solaninum comb. nov. (-Helminthosporium solaninum), differs from Heteroconium in having an obligate association with asterinaceous fungi and in the centrifugal sequence of conidium transseptation after the initial median septum. Pirozynskiella costaricensis comb. nov. (-Dendryphion costaricensis) is illustrated and described. Heteroconium tetracoilum and H. chaetospira are fungicoles of wood and bark; the former has basifugal conidium septation and the latter has a centrifugal sequence. The two latter species can be excluded from the Heteroconium. Basifugal and centrifugal septation of conidia is discussed with reference to several Sooty Molds, to some foliicolous anamorphs with subcuticular hyphae (Heterosporiopsis) and to some wood and bark hyphomycetes (Septonema, Taeniolella). Ten other species included in Heteroconium are known to me only from their original descriptions; only one (H. asiaticum) is probably a Sooty mold.

Capnokyma rossmanae, a new species of Sooty Molds
Mycologia, 2001Co-Authors: S.j. HughesAbstract:Capnokyma rossmanae and its presumed Hormisciomyces synanamorph are illustrated and described from a collection from Cerro de la Neblina, Venezuela. The new species lacks the branched setae of the ...

Whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and the predator Delphastus pusillus (Le Conte) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) on papaya tree (Carica papaya L.) grown under screened conditions
Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2001Co-Authors: Vieira, Marineide R., Correa, Luiz S.Abstract:Em fevereiro e outubro de 1998, na área experimental da Fazenda de Ensino e Pesquisa da UNESP no município de Selvíria-MS (latitude 20° 22' S, longitude 51° 22' W, altitude 335 m), foi constatada a presença de mosca branca em mamoeiro cultivar Baixinho de Santa Amália, plantado no interior de um telado com malha de 2 x 2 mm. Essa área fazia parte de um experimento visando determinar o efeito do cultivo em ambiente protegido sobre o desenvolvimento das plantas, a produção de frutos e a ocorrência do mosaico do mamoeiro. Nas duas ocasiões os insetos foram enviados ao Centro de Recursos Genéticos e Biotecnologia (CENARGEN) da EMBRAPA para identificação. Na primeira infestação o material foi identificado como Trialeurodes sp. e na infestação de outubro como Bemisia tabaci biótipo B . Nos dois casos havia grande quantidade de ninfas nas folhas maduras e de adultos nas folhas novas. Para Trialeurodes sp. foi realizada uma contagem de ninfas em dezoito folhas, em cinco áreas de 1 cm² por folha, distribuídas ao acaso, encontrando-se a média de 7,6 ninfas por cm². Como conseqüência da presença das duas espécies, o único dano observado foi um intenso desenvolvimento de fumagina recobrindo completamente a superfície das folhas, que acabaram por secar e cair. A infestação de B. tabaci biótipo B foi controlada pela presença de larvas e adultos do coccinelídeo Delphastus pusillus (LeConte) que alimentavam-se vorazmente das ninfas presentes.We report the presence of whitefly species at the Experimental Farm of UNESP, located in Selvíria, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil ( 20°22' latitude S, 51°22' longitude W, altitude 335 m), in February and October 1998. These insects were found on papaya trees cultivar Baixinho de Santa Amália, grown under screened conditions (2 mm x 2 mm mash). The goal of the original experiment was to determine the effect of growing the cultivar under a protected environment on the development of the trees, fruit production and incidence of the "papaya ringspot virus". Whitefly specimens were sent to the Center of Genetic Resources and Biotechnology (CENARGEN) of EMBRAPA, for identification. The specimens collected in February were identified as Trialeurodes sp. and those collected in October were recognized as Bemisia tabaci biotype B. In both ocasions there were great numbers of nymphs on mature leaves and of adults on young leaves. We counted the number of Trialeurodes nymphs in eighteen leaves, in five areas of 1 cm² per leaf, distributed at random, where we found an average of 7.6 nymphs/cm². The only damage associated with the presence of whitefly of both species was the intense development of `Sooty Molds', covering completely the leaves, which wilted and fell. The infestation of B. tabaci biotype B was controlled by larvae and adults of the coccinellid Delphastus pusillus (LeConte), which fed avidly on the whitefly nymphs
