Pleurothecium is a genus of terrestrial and freshwater

Pleurotheciales.[2] It is typified by Pleurothecium recurvatum as the type species (Morgan) Höhn,[3][4] which has the synonym of Carpoligna pleurothecii F.A. Fernández & Huhndorf, Mycologia 9: 253. 1999.[3][5]

History

Fernández et al. (1999) established Carpoligna with the sexual stage of Carpoligna pleurothecii as the type species and sporulated asexual stage from culture, which was physically linked to Pleurothecium recurvatum.[6] Réblová et al. (2016) proposed to adopt Pleurothecium over Carpoligna (Art. F.8.1, Shenzhen code).[7] Thus, Carpoligna pleurothecii was then regarded as a synonym to Pleurothecium recurvatum.[4]

Based on morphological and molecular data, species Pleurotheciella was found to be closely related to the genera Pleurothecium and Sterigmatobotrys in 2012.[8] This was before the creation of the family Pleurotheciaceae in 2015.

A key to the various species of Pleurothecium was provided by Monteiro et al. (2016).[9]

Description

Pleurothecium species are characterized by astromatic, semi-immersed to superficial, dark brown, venter subglobose to conical

conidia, straight or slightly curved (Wu & Zhang 2009,[10] Réblová et al. 2012,[8] Luo et al. 2018,[11]
).

Distribution and habitats

It has a scattered distribution, including places such as China and Thailand,[4][12] Taiwan,[13] North America, South America (including Brazil,[9]), parts of Europe (including the United Kingdom,[14]) Australia,[15] and also New Zealand.[16][17][18]

They are found in terrestrial (soils,[10]) and freshwater habits,[4][12] on submerged leaves and wood.[14]

Species

12 species are accepted by
