title: Overlooked competing asexual and sexually typified generic names ofAscomycotawith recommendations for their use or protection.
abstract: With the change to one scientific name for fungal species, numerous papers have been published with recommendations for use or protection of competing generic names in major groups of ascomycetes. Although genera in each group of fungi were carefully considered, some competing generic names were overlooked. This paper makes recommendations for additional competing genera not considered in previous papers. Chairs of relevant Working Groups of the ICTF were consulted in the development of these recommendations. A number of generic names need protection, specificallyAmarenographiumoverAmarenomyces,AmniculicolaoverAnguillospora, BalansiaoverEphelis,ClavicepsoverSphacelia,DrepanopezizaoverGloeosporidiellaandGloeosporium,GolovinomycesoverEuoidium,HolwayaoverCrinium,HypocrellaoverAschersonia,LabridellaoverGriphosphaerioma, MetacapnodiumoverAntennularia, andNeonectriaoverCylindrocarponandHeliscus.The following new combinations are made:Amniculicola longissima, Atichia maunauluana, Diaporthe columnaris, D. liquidambaris, D. longiparaphysata, D. palmicola, D. tersa, Elsinoë bucidae, E.caricae, E. choisyae, E. paeoniae, E. psidii, E. zorniae, Eupelte shoemakeri, Godronia myrtilli, G. raduloides, Sarcinella mirabilis, S. pulchra, Schizothyrium jamaicense,andTrichothallus niger. Finally, one new species name,Diaporthe azadirachte, is introduced to validate an earlier name, and the conservation ofDisculawith a new type,D. destructiva, is recommended.
