Barbatosporales is an order of fungi in the class Barbatosporomycetes. The order was introduced by Alexander B. Doweld in 2014 to accommodate the family Barbatosporaceae, which includes the monotypic genus Barbatospora.[1]

The only known species commonly placed in the order is Barbatospora ambicaudata, a trichomycete fungus originally described from the gut of larval aquatic insects.[2]

Taxonomy

Barbatosporales belongs to the class Barbatosporomycetes, a small lineage of early-diverging fungi placed in Kickxellomycotina.[3]

The order contains the family Barbatosporaceae and the genus Barbatospora.[1] The type species of the genus is Barbatospora ambicaudata, described by White, Siri and Lichtwardt in 2006.[2]

Some taxonomic databases and treatments differ in their placement of the group at higher ranks, reflecting continuing changes in the classification of early-diverging fungal lineages.[3][4]

Description

Members of Barbatosporales are characterised by branched thalli and cylindrical trichospores lacking a collar. The trichospores have multiple fine basal appendages and may have a cylindrical sleeve or wall at the terminal end, which can reveal appendage-like filaments after dehiscence. Zygospores are not known.[1][3]

Ecology

Barbatospora ambicaudata was described from trichomycete symbionts of larval aquatic insects collected in and near Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the southern Appalachian region of the United States. The species was found in larvae of Simuliidae.[2]

A phylogenomic study of Kickxellomycotina recovered blackfly-associated Barbatospora ambicaudata as an early-diverging branch within an insect-associated fungal clade that also included Harpellales and Asellariales.[5]

Classification

A commonly used circumscription is:

  • Order Barbatosporales Doweld, 2014
    • Family Barbatosporaceae Doweld, 2014
      • Genus Barbatospora M.M. White, Siri & Lichtw., 2006
        • Barbatospora ambicaudata M.M. White, Siri & Lichtw., 2006
