Arthrinium rasikravindrii sp. nov. from Svalbard, Norway
Arthrinium rasikravindrii sp. nov. was isolated from soil collected in the arctic archipelago Svalbard, Norway. The new species, distinguished by morphological and in vitro cultural characters, forms dark brown lenticular conidia with hyaline equatorial germ slits together with
balloon-shaped, anomalous conidia uncommon in the morphologically similar A. phaeospermum. Additionally, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequence analyses support this species as distinct within Arthrinium. Isolates previously identified as A. phaeospermum from
China and Japan are re-determined as A. rasikravindrii.
