Creator:

Tehan, Richard M., Dooley, Connor B., Barge, Edward G., McPhail, Kerry L., and Spatafora, Joseph W.

Abstract:

Molecular phylogenetic and chemical analyses, and morphological characterization of collections of North American Paraisaria specimens support the description of two new species and two new combinations for known species. P. cascadensis sp. nov. is a pathogen of Cyphoderris (Orthoptera) from the Pacific Northwest USA and P. pseudoheteropoda sp. nov. is...
