Tricharina tophiseda-a new species from Croatia, with a revision of T-japonica (Pyronemataceae, Pezizales)

A new species, Tricharina tophiseda, is described in detail on the basis of both teleomorph and anamorph states. A comparative study of the most similar species, T. japonica, is provided by re-examination of the holotype and recently collected European material. Highly diverse characters of species in Tricharina and closely related genera demonstrate concurrence with polyphyly ascertained by a number of previous phylogenetic studies.
