Title: Hypocrea flaviconidia, a new species from Costa Rica with yellow conidia
Abstract: The new species Hypocrea flaviconidia and its Pachybasium-like Trichoderma anamorph are described based on collections from the Southern region of Costa Rica. This species is distinguished by its yellow conidia, a character that is rare and unusual in Hypocrea/Trichoderma. The phylogenetic relationship of H. flaviconidia to other species of Hy- pocrea/Trichoderma is explored based on ITS1 and 2 regions of rDNA, tef1 and ech42 gene genealogies. Phylogenetic analyses show that H. flaviconidia belongs in Trichoderma sect. Trichoderma, where it forms a sister group to a clade that includes T. hamatum and T. pubescens. A key to species of Hypocrea with known anamorphs with yellow conidia is pre- sented.
