Abstract

Based on own collections, two species of cheirosporous hyphomycetes (anamorphic Pleosporales) have been reexamined by morphology and molecular analysis. Cheiromyces inflatus is a new record for England. Transfers of Ch. inflatus to Dictyosporium and of Cheiromoniliophora elegans to Pseudodictyosporium are proposed.
