Contributions towards a monograph of Phoma (Coelomycetes) VIII. Section Paraphoma: Taxa with setose pycnidia

In this paper eleven species of Phoma with obvious setose pycnidia, grouped in the section Paraphoma, are documented and described. Most of these species were formerly classified in Pyrenochaeta. The following new taxa have been proposed: Phoma briardii nom. nov., Phoma carteri nom. nov., Phoma glycinicola nom. nov., Phoma indica (T.S. Viswan.) comb, nov., Phoma setariae (H.C. Greene) comb. nov. and Phoma leveillei var. microspora var. nov. Indices on host/substratum-fungus and fungus-host relations are included and short comments on the ecology and distribution of the taxa are given.
