Fungal Diversity New species of Cryptophialoidea and Hughesinia

Cryptophialoidea and Hughesinia (hyphomycetes, anamorphic fungi) from Cuba. Fungal Diversity 20: 31-38. Two new hyphomycetes (anamorphic fungi) are described and illustrated based on specimens collected on plant debris from Cuba. Cryptophialoidea ramosa sp. nov., found on a dead leaf of Ocotea nemodaphne, is unique in having 1-3 times dichotomously branched setiform conidiophores. Hughesinia verrucosa sp. nov., collected on a dead stem of Arthrostylidium sp., is characterized by conidiophores with verrucose, conspicuous, light brown, frequently percurrent proliferations and verrucose conidia with a protuberant basal cell. Similarities with morphologically close taxa are discussed. A key to the known species of Cryptophialoidea is provided
