The anamorphic genus Monotosporella (Ascomycota) from Eocene amber and from modern Agathis resin
چکیده انگلیسی

The anamorphic fungal genus Monotosporella (Ascomycota, Sordariomycetes) has been reco-vered from a piece of Early Eocene Indian amber, as well as from the surface of extant resin flows in New Caledonia. The fossil fungus was obtained from the Tarkeshwar Lignite Mine of Gujarat State, western India, and was part of the biota of an early tropical angiosperm rainforest. The amber inclusion represents the second fossil record of Sordariomycetes, as well as the first fossil of its particular order (either Savoryellales or Chaetosphaeriales). The fossil fungus is distinguished from extant representatives by possessing both short conidiophores and small two-septate pyriform conidia, and is described as Monotosporella doerfeltii sp. nov. Inside the amber, the anamorph is attached to its substrate, which is likely the degraded thallus of a cladoniform lichen. The extant New Caledonian species is assigned to Monotosporella setosa. It was found growing on semi-solidified resin flows of Agathis ovata (Araucariaceae), and is the first record of Monotosporella from modern resin substrates.


► The genus Monotosporella is described from Eocene amber and from extant resin flows.
► We describe the fossil fungus as Monotosporella doerfeltii sp. nov.
► The substrate of the fossil is likely the degraded thallus of a cladoniform lichen.
► We assign the extant species from New Caledonian resin flows to M. setosa.
