Five new species of Gloeandromyces (Fungi, Laboulbeniales) from tropical American bat flies (Diptera, Streblidae), revealed by morphology and phylogenetic reconstruction

This paper describes and illustrates five new species of (Ascomycota, Laboulbeniales) associated with tropical American bat flies (Diptera, Streblidae). These are sp. nov. from in Costa Rica and Honduras, sp. nov. from in Costa Rica, sp. nov. from in Panama, sp. nov. from in Ecuador and Panama, and...

Description
Summary:	This paper describes and illustrates five new species of (Ascomycota, Laboulbeniales) associated with tropical American bat flies (Diptera, Streblidae). These are sp. nov. from in Costa Rica and Honduras, sp. nov. from in Costa Rica, sp. nov. from in Panama, sp. nov. from in Ecuador and Panama, and sp. nov. from in Ecuador and Panama. The description of these five species doubles the number of known species in the genus. Morphological characteristics, host association, and a three-locus (18S nuc rDNA, 28S nuc rDNA, ) phylogenetic reconstruction support placement of these taxa in the genus . Three of the new species are polymorphic; they have multiple morphotypes that grow in specific positions on the host integument: f. , f. , and f. f. and f. ; and f. and f. . Finally, a dichotomous key to all species and morphotypes is presented.
