Abstract
Ophiostoma species, some of which cause
sapstain in timber and/or are mild pathogens, are
common fungal associates of bark beetles (Coleoptera:
Scolytinae). Three new Ophiostomataceae from
Spain are recognized in the present study based on
comparisons of sequence data for three gene regions
as well as morphological characteristics. The new taxa
are described as Ophiostoma nebulare sp. nov.,
Ophiostoma euskadiense sp. nov. and Graphilbum
crescericum sp. nov.
