TL;DR: The taxonomic position of Trichothecium is discussed and a more precise generic delimitation is proposed and it is suggested that T. inaequale may be best included in Genicularia.
Abstract: The taxonomic position of Trichothecium is discussed and a more precise generic delimitation is proposed. Some accepted species of Trichothecium are briefly commented upon and T. parvum sp.nov. from Tanganyika is described. T. cystosporium is made the type of a new genus Genicularia and two new species G. perpasta and G. paucispora are described. It is suggested that T. inaequale may be best included in Genicularia. Candelabrella, another new genus, typified by C. javanica sp.nov. is proposed. Arthrobotrys musiformis is transferred to this genus and it is suggested that A. entomopaga also belongs here. The limits of the genus Arthrobotrys are discussed.

TL;DR: The rbcL data suggest a close relationship of Roya with Gonatozygon and Genicularia, which is not supported by studies of cell wall ultrastructure but is congruent with some studies of pig studies and charophycean and other outgroups.
Abstract: Gonatozygon and Genicularia have been placed in various families within the conjugating green algae, and recent treatments place them in the order Desmidiales, in a separate family Gonatozygaceae or within the family Peniaceae. Nucleotide sequences of the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) were determined for these genera and included in an analysis with published sequences for related genera in the families Zygnemataceae (filamentous conjugating green algae) and Mesotaeniaceae (saccoderm desmids), as well as charophycean and other outgroups. Gonatozygon and Genicularia form a strongly supported monophyletic group that is closely related to the saccoderm desmid, Roya. These three genera form a clade within a paraphyletic assemblage of genera from the Mesotaeniaceae and Zygnemataceae. The rbcL data suggest a close relationship of Roya with Gonatozygon and Genicularia, which is not supported by studies of cell wall ultrastructure but is congruent with some studies of pig...
