Abstract

Pycnodallia dupla gen. sp. nov. and Hymenopsis chlorothrix sp. nov. are described from saltmarsh Juncus roemerianus in North Carolina. Conidiomata of P. dupla develop on senescent inflorescences and involucral leaves, between 40 and 60 cm above the rhizome, therefore, the species can be considered as facultative marine. Conidiomata of H. chlorothrix are found on dead culms, 16–43 cm above the rhizome. This species is classified as obligately marine. Dwayaangam junci, the anamorph of Orbilia junci, has been found for the first time in nature. Conidia develop on the medulla of leaves, in lesions caused by grasshoppers.
