The new species Lophodermium macci is described. It is similar in its morphology, habitat, geographic range and ecology to L. pini-excelsae, L. staleyi and L. nitens and often is misidentified as L. pinastri on Pinus strobus in herbaria. A modified technique was used to extract DNA from minute ascomata on herbarium specimens, and new primers were made to amplify the damaged DNA from these specimens. It provides added evidence to separate L. macci from L. pini-excelsae, its closest morphological taxon.
新种 Lophodermium macci 被描述。它在形态、生境、地理分布和生态上与 L. pini-excelsae、L. staleyi 和 L. nitens 相似，在标本馆中常被误认为是 Picea strobus 上的 L. pinastri。改良的技术被用于从标本馆标本上的微小子囊壳中提取 DNA，并制作了新的引物来扩增这些标本中受损的 DNA。这为将 L. macci 与其最接近的形态分类群 L. pini-excelsae 区分开来提供了额外的证据。
