Koralionastes is a genus of fungi in the family Koralionastetaceae, order Koralionastetales and Subclass Lulworthiomycetidae.[2]
Koralionastes was introduced to accommodate species; Koralionastes angustus, Koralionastes ellipticus and Koralionastes ovalis (the type species) by Kohlmeyer & Volkmann-Kohlmeyer (1987).[3] Kohlmeyer & Volkmann-Kohlmeyer (1990a) then introduced Koralionastes giganteus, and Koralionastes violaceus found on dead coralline covered rocks among crustose sponges and their ascospores have double walls and are ellipsoidal or fusiform (spindle-like shape) (Campbell et al. 2009,[4]).[5][6]
The genus Pontogeneia was described by Kohlmeyer (1975) for five perithecial ascomycetes parasitizing marine Phaeophyta. Two more species have been added since (Kohlmeyer & Kohlmeyer 1979; Kohlmeyer & Demoulin 1981), and a new species is described in the present paper. The family Koralionastetaceae was proposed by Kohlmeyer & Volkmann-Kohlmeyer (1987) based on the single genus, Koralionastes, with three species from corals. Two species were added later by Kohlmeyer & Volkmann-Kohlmeyer (1990). The proper placement of both Pontogeneia and Koralionastes in the fungal kingdom was unclear until now. In Outline of Ascomycota (Eriksson 2006), Pontogeneia was placed among the genera of uncertain position in the Sordariomycetes, and Koralionastes (Koralionastetaceae) was listed among families and genera of Ascomycota that cannot be placed in any accepted class and order.[4]
Distribution
editThe genus has been found in South America and Africa.[7] Including Belize,[3] and Australia (near the Great Barrier Reef)[5]
