Type: Xylophilous Fungi; Description: Ascomata perithecial, scattered, superficial, globose with a 250–1000 μm long neck, black, 0.10–0.3 mm in diameter, perithecial necks straight, curved or tortuous, black, ostiolar hyphae absent; in bark beetle galleries in inner bark or outer sapwood and as hyphae in the sapwood. Asci evanescent. Ascospores reniform, 0-septate, 4–6 × 3–5 μm, smooth, hyaline, emerging from the ostiole in spiral cirri. Conidiophores with a dark brown to blackish brown stipe; conidiogenous cells borne on penicillate branches, hyaline. Conidia oblong to clavate, 0-septate, 4–9 × 1–4 μm, smooth, hyaline, produced in slimy heads.
Distribution: Auckland, Coromandel, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Taupo, Wanganui, Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Wairarapa, Nelson, Marlborough, North Canterbury, Mid Canterbury, Dunedin, Southland.; 1st Record: Hutchison & Reid (1988a: as Ceratocystis piceaperda).
Notes: This species has been misidentified as Ophiostoma piceaperda by earlier New Zealand authors.
Significance: None. Produces a brown to black stain in wood.; Host(s): Pinus nigra subsp. nigra, P. radiata, P. taeda.
Type specimen; DAOM 90235 (Mycological Herbarium, Plant Research Institute, Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada). Collected from beetle-attacked lodgepole pine at Invermere, British Columbia, Canada.
Verticicladiella huntii was not described in Robinson-Jeffrey's 1964 manuscript, in this publication Ceratocystis huntii is explicitly described, but the anamorph is only alluded to such as “Conidiophores of the Leptographium type, with sporogenous cells frequently bearing two or three sympodioconidia as is characteristic of the genus Verticicladiella” in fact the author states: “Imperfect states ... are too generalized to be of much diagnostic value.”. This error arose from Wingfield's 1985 paper (pg. 92) in which he used Verticicladiella huntii as the basionym for the combination Leptographium huntii. The journal volume was also erroneous given as 40 rather than 42.
