Abstract

Collections from field expeditions to the Atlantic Forest and to Amazonia in Brazil and revision of herbarium material revealed the presence of Trechispora specimens that could not be assigned to any described species. Phylogenetic analysis based on nuc rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) and nuc 28S rDNA (28S) regions confirmed that these specimens belong to two new species, here described as Trechispora mollis and Trechispora torrendii. Trechispora mollis has a densely hydnoid hymenophore and is most similar to T. nivea, but differs from it by the presence of inflated cells in the subiculum. Trechispora torrendii has a minutely grandinioid hymenophore similar to T. farinacea, but these two species are genetically well separated. The new combinations T. brasiliensis and T. mellina are proposed, and new records from Brazilian regions and biomes are reported. Descriptions, illustrations, a key to Brazilian species of Trechispora, the first sequence of T. rigida, and a phylogeny for the genus are presented.
