Geodina salmonicolor sp. nov., a new neotropical / equatorial discomycetes of the genus Geodina, is here described and illustrated. The discovery of this new entity allowed us to propose another species of Geodina, until now a monospecific genus, and produce the first 28S rDNA genetic data, which supports this species is related to genus Wynnea in the Sarcoscyphaceae. Key-words – 1 new species – Ascomycota – Sarcoscyphaceae – Sub-tropical zone Caribbeans – Taxonomy Introduction A study started more than 10 years ago in the area of Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) by one of the authors allowed us to identify several interesting fungal species, both Basidiomycota and Ascomycota. Angelini & Medardi (2012) published a first report of ascomycetes in which 12 lignicolous species including discomycetes and pyrenomycetes were described and illustrated in detail, also delineating the physical and botanical characteristics of the research area. During one of the forays in Santo Domingo, another unusual discomycetes in the shape of a small upturned bell was found, characterized by a faint pink to salmon-colored hymenium contrasting with the brownish external surface. A closer examination suggested that it was a species related to the genus Geodina Denison, but different from the only species so far described, G. guanacastensis Denison. The first collection consisted of only one apothecium found on a jar of the Jardín Botánico Nacional Dr. Rafael Ma. Moscoso of Santo Domingo. A few years later, a single isolated apothecium of the fungus was found again in two other different places. We tried to study also the holotypus of G. guanacastensis located in CUP, in order to compare it with our findings and to have more familiarity with the phylogenetic position of the genus, but it was impossible because the Herbarium did not consider our request of loan. Material & Methods Fungal specimens were photographed in situ, using a digital camera Nikon Coolpix 8400, and then dried using an air dryer. Microscopic examinations and drawings from them were done Mycosphere 9(2): 169–177 (2018) www.mycosphere.org ISSN 2077 7019
