title: The taxonomic status of Corethromyces bicolor from New Zealand, as inferred from morphological, developmental, and molecular studies.
abstract: Due to the absence of antheridial characters in collected material the precise placement of Corethromyces bicolor has remained troublesome up until now. Recent re-examination of receptacular and appendage characters present in the holotype led to its transfer to the genus Mimeomyces. Fresh collections of this fungus have provided the opportunity to re-assess its taxonomic position. Based on a combination of morphological and molecular characters, this species is re-instated within the genus Corethromyces.
