| Summary: New phylogenetic studies focused on the family Sarcosomataceae support the independence of the genera Plectania, Pseudoplectania, Donadinia, Sarcosoma, Galiella and Urnula. Galiella is restricted to the temperate species, while the tropical taxa seem to be more related to the family Chorioactidaceae, and are here accomodated in the prioritary genus Trichaleurina. The lineage including the type species of Urnula is here shown to include also several morphologically deviant species. The genus Pseudosarcosoma is here proposed to accommodate Sarcosoma latahensis/Plectania latahense in the family Chorioactidaceae, since this lineage is not related to the type species of the genus Sarcosoma, S. globosum. |

Urnula padeniana (Pezizales) sp. nov. and the type study of Bulgaria mexicana |
|
| |
Carbone M., Agnello C., Parker A. |
13-24 |
| Summary: Urnula padeniana is described as new although it is a common northwestern American species known for years as Sarcosoma mexicanum or Plectania mexicana. A morphological in-depth study of this species is reported. The type of Bulgaria mexicana is also revised, and turns out to be a different species, being a member of the Urnula campylospora complex. The new combination Urnula mexicana is proposed. Color pictures of fresh and dried specimens, microscopic morphology, and a black and white plate of hymenial elements are included. Related or similar species are also discussed. |

Notes on Urnula campylospora (Pezizales) |
|
| |
Carbone M., Agnello C. |
25-32 |
| Summary: The authors present a detailed morphological study of Urnula campylospora (Berk.) Cooke based on a Tasmanian collection and on four New Zealand specimens housed in the New Zealand Collection of Fungi and Plant Pathogens (PDD). Nomenclatural and taxonomical notes are provided along with photographs and drawings of microscopic and macroscopic features. |

A type study of Pseudoplectania stygia (Pezizales) |
|
| |
Carbone M. |
33-38 |
| Summary: The original material of Peziza stygia Berk. & M.A. Curtis, housed in the Farlow Herbarium (FH) of Harvard University and in the herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew (K), was revised to confirm its taxonomic position in the genus Pseudoplectania Fuckel. Color pictures of dried specimens and microscopic characters are also provided. |

Wolfina aurantiopsis, a rare species in the family Chorioactidaceae (Pezizales) |
|
| |
Agnello C., Carbone M., Braaten C. |
39-45 |
| Summary: A detailed morphological study of the rare ascomycete Wolfina aurantiopsis (Ellis) Eckblad is presented after the thorough study of two collections from Tennessee (USA). Macroscopic and microscopic color photographs as well as line drawings are included. Notes regarding taxonomy and nomenclature of W. aurantiopsis and related species are proposed. |

Pseudoplectania melaena (Pezizales): taxonomical and nomenclatural note |
|
| |
Van Vooren N., Moyne G., Carbone M., Moingeon J.-M. |
47-52 |
| Summary: Pseudoplectania melaena (Fr.) Sacc. (= P. vogesiaca) is a widespread species, growing on dead wood of conifers (Abies sp. in Europe), during spring, in mountainous areas. In some regions, it is considered as rare or uncommon, that’s why we propose a full description of this taxon based both on recent collections and ancient specimens housed in Persoon’s herbarium (L). Taxonomical and nomenclatural aspects are provided, and a lectotype is designated. Although limited, the risk of confusion with other species of the genus is discussed. |

Notes on Urnula hiemalis Nannf. |
|
| |
Carbone M., Agnello C. |
53-61 |
| Summary: The authors report a detailed morphological study of Urnula hiemalis, based on recent Finnish collections. Colour pictures of fresh and dried material, microscopy, as well as B/W drawings are provided. The taxon is also compared with the closest species like U. craterium, U. groenlandica and U. brachysperma. |
