European species of Hypocrea : Miscellaneous species Introduction The residual European species of Hypocrea not clustered in larger clades are presented in this chapter. It includes also the three species H. argillacea, H. splendens and H. strobilina that have not been recollected recently; accordingly, their phylogenetic position is not known. These

species are redescribed below based on their holotypes. Selleck LY333531 At this point I want to note that at least six additional teleomorphic or holomorphic species of Hypocrea/Trichoderma and several anamorphic species have been detected in Europe. They are not described here either due to material insufficient for a RXDX-101 cost thorough description or due to sequencing issues. A description of the undescribed anamorphic AZD5363 in vitro species is beyond the scope of this work. Apart from the three species mentioned

above, the following eight are described below: Hypocrea albolutescens, morphologically unique, residing in a basal position of uncertain affinity in the generic tree (Fig. 1); H. moravica as a member of the Semiorbis clade with a marked morphological similarity to species of the pachybasium core group. Hypocrea sambuci, H. subalpina and H. tremelloides form a weakly supported, therefore unnamed subclade of the section Longibrachiatum, which so far is represented in Europe by only the single holomorphic species H. schweinitzii. Included are also H. silvae-virgineae, which has a pachybasium-like anamorph and clusters with Trichoderma helicum; and H. voglmayrii, which forms an isolated lineage associated with sect. Trichoderma. For H. moravica, H. subalpina and H. tremelloides the anamorphs are newly described. The anamorphs of the latter two species and of H. sambuci are white-conidial, with unusual structures new to Trichoderma. See the notes after each species description for more information on species similarities and delimitation. Plasmin Species descriptions Hypocrea
