New Names for Verrucispora and its Species

Abstract

The generic name Verrucispora Shaw & Alcorn (Deuteromycotina) differs from that of Verrucispora E. Horak (Basidiomycotina) by only one letter, and the latter has precedence. Therefore, in accordance with requirements of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, the following changes have been made: Verrucispora becomes Verrucisporota nom. nov., based on Verrucisporota proteacearum comb. nov. Four other species of Verrucispora described by various authors become Verrucisporota brideliae comb. nov., Stenella smilacicola nom. nov., Sirosporim inclicum comb. nov., and Pseudocercospora luculiae comb. nov.
