Abstract

This paper provides recommendations of one name for use among pleomorphic genera in <i>Dothideomycetes</i> by the Working Group on <i>Dothideomycetes</i> established under the auspices of the International Commission on the Taxonomy of Fungi (ICTF). A number of these generic names are proposed for protection because they do not have priority and/or the generic name selected for use is asexually typified. These include: <i>Acrogenospora</i> over <i>Farlowiella; Alternaria</i> over <i>Allewia, Lewia</i>, and <i>Crivellia; Botryosphaeria</i> over <i>Fusicoccum; Camarosporula</i> over <i>Anthracostroma</i>; <i>Capnodium</i> over <i>Polychaeton; Cladosporium</i> over <i>Davidiella; Corynespora</i> over <i>Corynesporasca</i>; <i>Curvularia</i> over <i>Pseudocochliobolus; Elsinoë</i> over <i>Sphaceloma; Excipulariopsis</i> over <i>Kentingia; Exosporiella</i> over <i>Anomalemma; Exserohilum</i> over <i>Setosphaeria</i>; <i>Gemmamyces</i> over <i>Megaloseptoria</i>; <i>Kellermania</i> over <i>Planistromella; Kirschsteiniothelia</i> over <i>Dendryphiopsis; Lecanosticta</i> over <i>Eruptio; Paranectriella</i> over <i>Araneomyces; Phaeosphaeria</i> over <i>Phaeoseptoria; Phyllosticta</i> over <i>Guignardia; Podonectria</i> over <i>Tetracrium; Polythrincium</i> over <i>Cymadothea; Prosthemium</i> over <i>Pleomassaria; Ramularia</i> over <i>Mycosphaerella; Sphaerellopsis</i> over <i>Eudarluca; Sphaeropsis</i> over <i>Phaeobotryosphaeria; Stemphylium</i> over <i>Pleospora; Teratosphaeria</i> over <i>Kirramyces</i> and <i>Colletogloeopsis; Tetraploa</i> over <i>Tetraplosphaeria; Venturia</i> over <i>Fusicladium</i> and <i>Pollaccia;</i> and <i>Zeloasperisporium</i> over <i>Neomicrothyrium</i>. Twenty new combinations are made: <i>Acrogenospora carmichaeliana</i> (Berk.) Rossman & Crous, <i>Alternaria scrophulariae</i> (Desm.) Rossman & Crous, <i>Pyrenophora catenaria</i> (Drechsler) Rossman & K.D. Hyde, <i>P. dematioidea</i> (Bubák & Wróbl.) Rossman & K.D. Hyde, <i>P. fugax</i> (Wallr.) Rossman & K.D. Hyde, <i>P. nobleae</i> (McKenzie & D. Matthews) Rossman & K.D. Hyde, <i>P. triseptata</i> (Drechsler) Rossman & K.D. Hyde, <i>Schizothyrium cryptogamum</i> (Batzer & Crous) Crous & Batzer, <i>S. cylindricum</i> (G.Y. Sun <i>et al.</i> ) Crous & Batzer, <i>S. emperorae</i> (G.Y. Sun & L. Gao) Crous & Batzer, <i>S. inaequale</i> (G.Y. Sun & L. Gao) Crous & Batzer, <i>S. musae</i> (G.Y. Sun & L. Gao) Crous & Batzer, <i>S. qianense</i> (G.Y. Sun & Y.Q. Ma) Crous & Batzer, <i>S. tardecrescens</i> (Batzer & Crous) Crous & Batzer, <i>S. wisconsinense</i> (Batzer & Crous) Crous & Batzer, <i>Teratosphaeria epicoccoides</i> (Cooke & Massee) Rossman & W.C. Allen, <i>Venturia catenospora</i> (Butin) Rossman & Crous, <i>V. convolvularum</i> (Ondrej) Rossman & Crous, <i>V. oleaginea</i> (Castagne) Rossman & Crous, and <i>V. phillyreae</i> (Nicolas & Aggéry) Rossman & Crous, combs. nov. Three replacement names are also proposed: <i>Pyrenophora grahamii</i> Rossman & K.D. Hyde, <i>Schizothyrium sunii</i> Crous & Batzer, and <i>Venturia barriae</i> Rossman & Crous noms. nov.
