The new coelomycete Pyrenochaeta keratinophila, isolated from corneal scrapings of a case of keratitis in Spain, is described and illustrated. This fungus is morphologically characterized by grey-olivaceous to greenish olivaceous colonies, scarce pycnidial setae placed mainly near the ostiole and production of phialoconidia from the aerial mycelium. The latter feature is unknown in any other species of the genus Pyrenochaeta. Sequencing of the ITS rDNA region of this clinical strain confirmed this proposal and revealed its close genetic relationship with the Leptosphaeriaceae.
本文描述并展示了从西班牙一例角膜炎患者角膜刮片中分离出的新型腔孢菌——嗜角皮壳菌（Pyrenochaeta keratinophila）。该真菌在形态学上的特征为：菌落呈灰橄榄色至绿橄榄色，分生孢子器刚毛稀少，主要分布在孔口附近，气生菌丝体可产生瓶梗分生孢子。后一特征在角皮壳菌属的其他任何物种中均未发现。对该临床菌株的ITS rDNA区域进行测序证实了这一结论，并揭示了其与小球腔菌科（Leptosphaeriaceae）的密切亲缘关系。
