Heuchert, B., Diederich, P., Zhurbenko, M. P. & Braun, U. 2019. Taeniolella diploschistis sp. nov. – a new lichenicolous fungus on Diploschistes scruposus. – Herzogia 32: 94 –100.

The new lichenicolous hyphomycete Taeniolella diploschistis, found on thalli and apothecia of the lichen Diploschistes scruposus in Asia (Russia) and Europe (Luxembourg and France), is described, illustrated, compared with morphologically similar lichenicolous species referred to the genus Taeniolella and keyed out together with other species occurring on hosts belonging to Graphidaceae. The biology of the new species is not quite clear, but blackish necroses below colonies of this fungus, although sometimes only slight, may suggest a pathogenic life strategy.
