title = "Conioscypha peruviana sp. nov., its phylogenetic placement based on 28S rRNA gene, and a report of Conioscypha gracilis comb. nov. from Peru",
abstract = "A new species, Conioscypha peruviana was isolated from submerged woody debris collected in streams, rivers and a swamp in Peru. The anamorph formed in culture and morphological and molecular data support the inclusion in the genus. A phylogeny generated with maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches placed the fungus in a well-supported clade with other Conioscypha and Conioscyphascus species. Nomenclature used herein reflects changes made in the Melbourne Code, with Conioscyphascus being considered a later synonym of Conioscypha. The fungus is described, illustrated and compared to morphologically similar taxa. In addition, Conioscypha gracilis comb. nov. is identified from both lentic and lotic habitats in Peru.",

note = "Funding Information: The authors would like to thank John Paul Janovec, Jason Dean Wells, and Pedro Centeno Checalla of the Andes to the Amazon Biodiversity Project (AABP) for providing logistical support and aid in collecting. Ren{\'a}n Valega Rosas, also of the AABP, is thanked for assistance in obtaining collecting and export permits. The authors would like to thank the staff of the Los Amigos Biological Station and the Amazon Conservation Association (ACA) and especially Adrian Tejador, Sarah Federman, and Sarah Carbonel for assistance on successful collection trips. The authors also thank the Peruvian government and the agencies DGFFS, MINAG and MINAM for permission to perform research in Peru. Financial support from the National Science Foundation (NSF Grant DEB 08-44722 ) is greatly appreciated. ",
