NEW OR INTERESTING SPECIES OF DIMEROMYCES (LABOULBENIALES, ASCOMYCOTINA)

Two new species of Dimeromyces occurring on beetles are describe: Dimeromyces oochroti parasitic on Oochrotus unicolor Lucas (Coleoptera Tenebrionidae), and Dimeromyces rossii, parasitic on Anchomenus dorsalis Pont. (Coleoptera Carabidae). New records of Dimeromyces adriaticus W. Rossi, Dimeromyces balazucii W. Rossi & Ces. Rossi, Dimeromyces corynetis Thaxt. and Dimeromyces strongylii Thaxt. are mentioned. Especially remarkable are D. adriaticus, the second world record as it was only known from its type, and D. strongylii, recorded for the first time in the European fungus flora. A new combination is proposed for Picardella catalaunica Santam., which is transferred to the genus Dimeromyces.
