Abstract
Australian taxa of the sequestrate genus Cribbea were examined by the use of ITS and nLSU sequences of nuclear rDNA and found to belong to the Physalacriaceae with affinities to Xerula and Oudemansiella. A new species, Cribbea turbinispora P.Catcheside & T.Lebel, from South Australia is described, and the previously described species C. lamellata (J.W.Cribb) A.H.Sm. & D.A.Reid is synonymised under C. gloriosa (D.A.Reid) A.H.Sm. & D.A.Reid. Descriptions and illustrations of the Australian species of Cribbea, including C. gloriosa, C. reticulata (J.W.Cribb) A.H.Sm. & D.A.Reid, C. turbinispora, and descriptions of the ex-Australian taxon C. andina (Speg.) J.E.Wright & E.Horak are presented. A key to all presently described Cribbea species is provided.
