Abstract

Allophlebia is proposed as a new genus in Meruliaceae based on morphological characters and molecular data. The genus, so far monotypic, is typified by Peniophora ludoviciana and the new combination A. ludoviciana is proposed. The type species is characterized by a resupinate basidioma, a monomitic hyphal system with clamp connections, two types of cystidia (leptocystidia and metuloids), clavate basidia, and hyaline, thin-walled and ellipsoid basidiospores. A phylogeny for Allophlebia and related taxa was inferred from ITS and nLSU rDNA sequences and new information on the geographic distribution of A. ludoviciana is provided.
