Halojulella avicenniae is a mangrove species, originally described from India as Pleospora avicenniae by Borse (1987). Subsequently it was collected on a submerged root of Avicenniae alba from north east coast of Queensland, and transferred to the genus Julella (Hyde 1992). Various strains of Halojulella avicenniae (BCC 18422, BCC 28357, GR 00584, JK 5326A and BCC 20173) have been isolated (Suetrong et al. 2009) and five are included in this analysis (FIGURE 1) with the data showing that H. avicenniae belongs in the Pleosporales, outside any of the known families, and thus a new family in the order is introduced. The significant characters that distinguish it from the genus Pleospora are ascomata in woody substrata, immersed beneath a clypeus, the peridium with a single layer of elongated cells and cellular, hyphal-like, pseudoparaphyses. Halojulella avicenniae is saprobic on intertidal twigs of the mangrove species Avicennia spp., Ceriops tagal and Rhizophora mucronata and pneumatophores of Avicennia marina (Alias and Jones 2000). However it can colonize apical twigs of A. marina infected with the larva of an unidentified moth (Jones unpublished data).</p> <p>Halojulella avicenniae differs from Julella buxi, in possessing 8-spored asci that are cylindrical-clavate with a prominent apical apparatus and a long furcate pedicel, and growing on young shoots of mangrove trees, never on bark and its marine habitat. Halojulella avicenniae forms a unique lineage in the Pleosporales.</p> <p>A second maritime species (Julella herbatilis Kohlm., Volkm. -Kohlm. &amp; O.E. Erikss.) occurs on senescent leaves of Juncus roemerianus some 23-118 cm above the rhizome (Kohlmeyer et al. 1997) and is regarded as facultative marine, but no cultures are currently available for a molecular analysis. Julella herbatilis differs from Halojulella avicenniae in having smaller ascomata, a peridium composed of cells of textura angularis, clavate to cylindrical asci with an indistinct ring, and ascospores that are elongate ellipsoidal with 5 transepta and one (-2) longiseptum, hyaline, shorter and narrow, and growing on the rush Juncus roemerianus in a salt marsh in the USA. Kohlmeyer et al. (1997) assigned this species to Julella with reservations, indicating it resembled Mycoglaena. Molecular data is needed to confirm the relationships of this species.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87DAFFFFFFEB3C8E78F7AE5FF93F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Julella has been variously confused, with some species being saprotrophic on bark, while others are lichenized, and the delineation of the genus is poorly defined. Currently 46 epithets are listed in Index Fungorum (http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/Names.asp, Accession Date - 02 January 2013). Many of the species assigned to the genus are facultatively lichenized with the alga Trentepohlia as the photobiont (Purvis et al. 1992). Julella shares many common features with Peltosphaeria but differs in having bisporous asci (Barr 1985). Barr (1985) proposed Peltosphaeria as a synonym of Julella. Various treatments of Julella are by Barr (1985) who lists three species and one variety in Julella, and Aptroot and van den Boom (1995) who considered Julella a predominantly tropical group of bark saprotrophs, and recognized the species: J. lactea (A. Massal.) M.E. Barr, J. sericea (A. Massal.) Coppins (= J. fallcaiosa (Stizenb. ex Arnold) R.C. Harris) and J. vitrispora (Cooke &amp; Harkn.) M.E. Barr (J. sublactea), and regarded other species as synonyms or assigned them to other genera. We have examined type material of the genus Julella from S, and the following description is based on examination of the holotype J. buxi. Our circumscription of the genus is in a strict sense based on the type species as molecular data is needed to confirm placement of other, especially lichenized taxa.</p> <p>Because of the differences in opinion surrounding taxa which should be included in the genus Julella has been assigned to Amphisphaeriaceae (Lindau in Engler and Prantl 1897), Pleosporaceae (Lutrell 1973; von Arx and Müller 1975) and Arthropyreniaceae (Barr 1985). Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010) assigned Julella to Thelenellaceae, a family of Ostropomycetidae. Zhang et al. (2012) suggested that with the exception of hyaline ascospores, most of the characters of Julella are compatible with Montagnulaceae. The circumscription of Julella above is thus based on the type species until relationships with other taxa can be confirmed by molecular data.</p> <p>Generic type: Julella buxi Fabre, Annls Sci. Nat., Bot., sér. 6, 9: 113. 1878. (Fig. 3A–M)</p> <p>MycoBank MB167562</p> <p>Saprobic on woody substrates.

Ascospores 30-35 × 10-15 µm biseriate or partially uniseriate, asymmetric or nearly symmetric, hyaline, obovoid, fusoid, or elongate, multi-septate, muriform, verruculose, wall thin, surrounded by a mucilaginous sheath, guttulate, constricted at the septa. Asexual State: Unknown</p> <p>Material examined. France, Serignan, on Buxus sempervirens, H. Fabre (S F5992; holotype).</p> <p>Notes. Julella buxi occurs on the bark of Buxus sempervirens and is non-lichenized. No asexual morph was found on the type material. Julella herbatilis differs from J. buxi by the herbaceous substrate, sparsely developed clypeus, a hamathecium of pseudoparaphyses without gelatinous matrix, 8-spored asci, and ascospores with only one or two longitudinal septa (Kohlmeyer et al. 1997).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87DAFFFDFFE53C8E78B3AB6EFE8F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
