Abstract

A fourth foliicolous species of Anisomeridium is described. Anisomeridium musaesporoides has so far only been found in Guyana and Panama. It is characterized by applanate perithecia with a white marginal zone, large spores with a submedian septum and apical ostiole. A key to all known foliicolous Anisomeridium species is provided.
