Abstract
In this paper we present an updated checklist of thallus-forming Laboulbeniomycetes (Ascomycota, Pezizomycotina), that is, the orders Herpomycetales and Laboulbeniales, from Belgium and the Netherlands. Two species are newly described based on morphology, molecular data (ITS, LSU ribosomal DNA) and ecology (host association). These are Hesperomyceshalyziae on Halyziasedecimguttata (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) from both countries and Laboulbeniaquarantenae on Bembidionbiguttatum (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Belgium. In addition, nine new country records are presented. For Belgium: Laboulbeniaaubryi on Amaraaranea (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and Rhachomycesspinosus on Syntomusfoveatus (Coleoptera, Carabidae). For the Netherlands: Chitonomycesmelanurus on Laccophilusminutus (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae), Euphoriomycesagathidii on Agathidiumlaevigatum (Coleoptera, Leiodidae), Laboulbeniafasciculata on Omophronlimbatum (Coleoptera, Carabidae), Laboulbeniametableti on Syntomusfoveatus and S.truncatellus (Coleoptera, Carabidae), Laboulbeniapseudomasei on Pterostichusmelanarius (Coleoptera, Carabidae), Rhachomycescanariensis on Trechusobtusus (Coleoptera, Carabidae), and Stigmatomyceshydrelliae on Hydrelliaalbilabris (Diptera, Ephydridae). Finally, an identification key to 140 species of thallus-forming Laboulbeniomycetes in Belgium and the Netherlands is provided. Based on the combined data, we are able to identify mutual gaps that need to be filled as well as weigh the impact of chosen strategies (fieldwork, museum collections) and techniques in these neighboring countries. The aim of this work is to serve as a reference for studying Laboulbeniomycetes fungi in Europe.
