Abstract
Thirty-three genera and 74 species of teleomorphic fungi were found on dead leaves of Pandanaceae, collected in ten countries (Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Mauritius, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines, Seychelles, Vanuatu). This includes one new genus of teleomorphic fungi (Callerascus) and 15 new species (Arachnopeziza lachnoides, Callerascus caerulitunicatus, Capsulospora pacifica, Crocicreas novae-zelandiae, Lachnellula bruneiensis, Melanopsamma monocilliata, Niesslia cinctiostiolata, Niesslia kapitiana, Niesslia pacifica, Niesslia philippinensis, Niesslia vaginata, Niptera purpurascens, Ornatispora nepalensis, Ornatispora novae-zelandiae, Peristomialis cellularis). Each genus is headed with a bibliographic references and family placements, type species and its associated bibliographic reference, a brief characterisation and discussion regarding taxonomic issues of importance within the genus, and reference to preceding work within the genus. Specimens identified as currently known species are written up with bibliographic details, some relevant measurements of the current specimens, known habitat and distribution, collection details, and a discussion regarding the taxonomic conclusions drawn. Any additional information deemed to be of taxonomic importance is noted, especially if the current specimens differ morphologically or dimensionally from the original described specimen. Taxa confirmed as new to science are written up with a full description, etymology of the specific epithet, known habitat and distribution, collection details, and a discussion of relevant details defending the introduction of a new taxon. New taxa are illustrated with a photographic plate showing macro- and microscopic details relevant to the specimen in question.
