Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) are common vectors of Ophiostoma species. These fungi include primary tree pathogens and important sapstain agents. In Mexico, Ips calligraphus and Dendroctonus mexicanus occur on many species of pine. Pinus maximinoi and P. pseudostrobus are the hosts of both species of insects. Little research has been done on ophiostomatoid fungi associated with pine bark beetles in Mexico. We recently obtained specimens of these bark beetles and their galleries from Mexico. The aim of the study was to isolate and identify Ophiostoma species associated with the two beetle species. In total, six ophiostomatoid species were found to be associated with them. These included Ceratocystiopsis minuta, Ophiostoma pluriannulatum, an O. galeiformis-like species, two unidentified Sporothrix spp., as well as a new species similar to O. adjuncti, O. ips, and O. montium, that we name as O. pulvinisporum sp. nov.
小蠹虫（鞘翅目：小蠹科）是长喙壳菌属物种的常见传播媒介。这些真菌包括主要的树木病原体和重要的木材变色菌。在墨西哥，刻点齿小蠹和墨西哥齿小蠹寄生于多种松树。大果松和拟乔松是这两种昆虫的寄主。关于墨西哥与松树小蠹虫相关的长喙壳菌类真菌的研究很少。我们最近从墨西哥获得了这些小蠹虫及其虫道的标本。本研究的目的是分离和鉴定与这两种甲虫相关的长喙壳菌属物种。总共发现六种长喙壳菌类物种与它们相关。其中包括微小角囊菌、多环长喙壳菌、一种类似盔状长喙壳菌的物种、两种未鉴定的孢子丝菌属物种，以及一种与附加长喙壳菌、刻点齿小蠹长喙壳菌和山地长喙壳菌相似的新物种，我们将其命名为枕状孢子长喙壳菌新种。
