Abstract

A new genus, Halorosellinia, is introduced to accommodate the lignicolous mangrove inhabitant Hypoxylon oceanicum. A detailed illustrated account of the teleomorphic and anamorphic states is given. Halorosellinia oceanica comb. nov., is compared with Stilbohypoxylon quisquiliarum and Nemania confluens (a reduced form of Nemania) and the reasons for introducing a new genus are discussed. Data on the ecology and geographical distribution of H. oceanica are presented.
