Beltrania querna Harkn. 1884

AUCKLAND: Rangitoto Island, dead leaf of Quercus ilex, 17 Mar 2001, PDD 74121; Rangitoto Island, dead leaf of Q. ilex, 17 Dec 2002, PDD 80094; MID CANTERBURY, Christchurch Botanical Garden, dead twig of Q. ilex, 9 Sep 2001, J. A. Cooper 8220; Christchurch Botanical Garden, dead leaf of Q. ilex, 9 Feb 2002, PDD 80638.
Colonies effuse, brown, velvety. Setae dark brown, 150–350 µm long, foot cell darker, radially lobed, to 12 µm at base. Conidiophores pale yellow-brown, 30–150 × 3.5 µm. Conidiogenesis terminal, determinate, polyblastic, leaving cylindrical denticles. Conidia biconic, 20–25 × 7–10 µm, with transverse, slightly recessed paler band and pale apical appendage. Conidial attachment with or without a limoniform separating cell.
New record from New Zealand. Kirk (1982a) pointed out that, in the UK, Beltrania querna is present wherever the host is found, and is frequently the dominant hyphomycete colonising the litter. The same statement may also be applied to Quercus ilex litter in New Zealand. Beltrania rhombica has recently been reported as a leaf endophyte in the tropics (Cannon & Simmons 2002), and it is possible that B. querna also has an endophytic phase. A recent key to the species of Beltrania was provided by Morelet (2001).
