Sánchez, Romina M. & Ma. Virginia Bianchinotti. Dothiorina: taxonomic concepts and comments on its conidiogenesis. Mycotaxon 102: 395-402. 2007.

ABSTRACT: Dothiorina tulasnei was collected on bark of Nothofagus pumilio. It is cited and described for the first time in Argentina. This coelomycete was considered a peculiar species because of its unusual conidiogenesis; but reports on the process are contradictory and still under discussion. Here, the present circumscription of the genus and the status of all Dothiorina species are discussed. Also, its Chalara-like conidiogenesis is fully described and documented.
