Abstract: Scutellinia blumenaviensis is recorded for the first time on Guadeloupe Island (France). A description of the macro- and microscopic characters and the ecology is provided, as well as photographic documentation. The morphological identification has been supported genetically by comparing the 28S rDNA with the only available sequence that exists in public databases, and the first ITS2 rDNA has been produced. A combined ITS-28S phylogenetic study to show its position in the genus Scutellinia is also provided.
The genus Scutellinia (Cooke) Lambotte was established by Cooke (1879), as a subgenus of Peziza Dill. ex Fr., for the sessile discomycetes with brown external hairs, and then raised to generic level by Lambotte (1887). Since then, many taxonomic studies on the genus Scutellinia have been performed […]
