ABSTRACT
Stigmatodiscus touroultii (Stigmatodiscaceae, Stigmatodiscales) is described and
illustrated from corticated dead twigs of Salvadora angustifolia collected in Juan de Nova
(Scattered Islands, Mozambique Channel). It is characterized by the irregularly shaped pruinose
hymenial disc without distinct black marginal lips and a calcium oxalate crystal layer
in the epithecium. Phylogenetic analyses of a multigene matrix containing a representative
selection of Dothideomycetes from four genes (nucSSU-ITS-LSU rDNA, RPB2, TEF1 and
TUB2) revealed a highly supported placement within Stigmatodiscus as sister species to
Stigmatodiscus oculatus. Micromorphology of the sexual and asexual morph matches the
genus Stigmatodiscus. A key to all known species worldwide is provided.
FUNDING
Species studied in this paper were collected in the frame
of the ‘Scattered Island’ inter-agency research consortium
(2017–2021) coordinated by the French Southern and Antarctic
Lands (TAAF) in partnership with: Centre National
de la Recherche Scientifique, Institut de Recherche pour
le Développement, Ifremer, Office Français de la Biodiversité,
Université de La Réunion & Université de Mayotte.
Fieldwork was funded by the inter-agency research
consortium and was done jointly by the Conservatoire
Botanique National de Mascarin, the Missouri Botanical
Garden and the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle
(UMS 2006 PatriNat OFB – CNRS – MNHN) in the
frame of the RECOFFIE (Renforcement des COnnaissances
sur la Flore et la Fonge des Iles Éparses) project,
implemented as part of the ‘Scattered Island’ inter-agency
research consortium (2017–2021). Species sequencing
was funded by the University of Vienna, Department of
Botany and Biodiversity Research.
