Bryocentria octosporelloides (Hypocreales) – a new species on Cololejeunea minutissima from Asturias (Spain)

Bryocentria octosporelloides Dobbeler, J. Linde & E. Rubio (Bionectriaceae, Hypocreales) is proposed as a new species. It infects the foliose, bark-inhabiting liverwort Cololejeunea minutissima (Lejeuneaceae, Porellales). The species is morphologically characterized by its superficial perithecia, one-celled ascospores and intracellular haustoria, and ecologically characterized by exhibiting biotrophic parasitism. It is recorded from one locality in Asturias in Northern Spain
