title: Two new species of Spadicoides from Brunei and Hong Kong.
abstract: Spadicoides hodgkissa sp. nov. and Spadicoides arengae sp. nov., recorded from submerged decaying wood in Hong Kong and from decaying palm fronds in Brunei, are described and illustrated. Spadicoides hodgkissa is characterized by versicolored, obovoid conidia with up to 2 septa, including a distal distoseptum and a proximal euseptum, while Spadicoides arengae is characterized by unicellular, ellipsoidal conidia with verruculose walls that are relatively large. Eight genera, including Dendrographium, Helminthosporium, Luzfridiella, Paliphora, Polyschema, Polytretophora, Porosubramaniania, and Weufia, have the same conidiogenesis as Spadicoides. A key to these genera is provided.
