Kurogi INM-2-17582-052445.</p> <p>Different from E. symploci-japonicae var. caprogenum by narrower basidiospores [(14–)15–26 × 3–6(–7) µm] and fewer septal numbers in basidiospores [0–3(–5)].</p> <p>The hymenium composed of basidia with 2–4 sterigmata and conidia. Basidia were clavate to cylindrical, 35–40 × 6–7 µm (FIGURES 1A, B), emerging directly from the host surface or through stomata. Sterigmata were 4–8 × 1.5 µm, developing outwardly and tapering toward the tip (FIGURES 1A, B, 3A, B). Basidiospores were ellipsoid, (14–)15–26 × 3–6(–7) µm, hyaline, smooth, one-celled when formed, becoming septate with 3(–5) septa (FIGURES 1C, 3C, D, E). Septate basidiospores germinated after placing on culture media for 18–24 h (FIGURE 3F). Germ tubes of the basidiospores emerged from several cells and produced conidia at the tip of germ tubes 24 h after release (FIGURES 2, 3G). Germ tubes grew into pseudohyphae and branch. Conidia were lacrimiform, subfusiform, and clavulate, 5–13 × 1 µm. Colonies on potato dextrose agar (PDA) composed of partially elongated pseudohyphae and conidia. The colony surface corrugate without a farinose appearance and pink to pale pink, the same as the reverse of the colonies. Dark pigment was not produced on PDA. Colonies were glutinous and did not fix on the agar surface.</p> <p>Etymology: —Referring to the local name of the host plant, S. myrtacea, by the Yakushima dialect.</p> <p>Symptom: —On infected fruit of S. myrtacea, white powdery hymenia appeared entirely on the swollen part of the fruit (FIGURE 4A). Size of the infected fruit was apparently larger than the healthy ones and the color was pale green or whitish green (FIGURES 4B, C). Infected fruit showed thickened mesocarp and cavities. The symptom was different from the pocket caused by Taphrina species. All seeds were sterile (FIGURE 4D). Hymenium formation was not observed on leaves, twigs and branches.</p> <p>Phylogenetic analysis: —Bootstrap values on neighbor-joining and support values of Quartet Puzzling on maximum likelihood trees were highly supported (100/100), so that this new species is distinguished from the two previously described varieties of E. symploci-japonicae.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038087BEFFBD6B0D7BE5FA64C6E8F837	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
