Laboulbeniales (Ascomycetes) from Latvia

Abstract

This contribution presents new and historical data on the Laboulbeniales of Latvian Coleoptera. An annotated checklist of 26 taxa is given, 13 are new for Latvia. Only six taxa (accepted names) from Briedis’ historical list were found again and six more need to be confirmed as Briedis’ material was lost. A neotype is indicated here for the extremely rare Laboulbenia elaphricola Siemaszko et Siemaszko. Its morphology is discussed and compared with Laboulbenia elaphri Spegazzini and Laboulbenia vulgaris Peyr.
