title: Soil ascomycetes from Spain. XIII. Two new species of Apiosordaria.
abstract: Apiosordaria hispanica sp. nov. and Apiosordaria globosa sp. nov. isolated from soil samples collected in Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain, are described and illustrated. Both species are morphologically close to A. otanii. The ascospores of A. hispanica have tuberculate walls, while those of A. otanii have small warts. Apiosordaria globosa differs from those species by the globose upper cell of the ascospores, which has a small apical protrusion with sub-apical germ pore when young. In A. hispanica and A. globosa the lower cells of the ascospores are slightly warted, while in A. otanii the lower cell of the ascospores is smooth-walled.
