Abstract Achlya ambispora sp. nov. occurring on litter
(floating dead leaves and twigs) in Las Cotorras stream, Tierra del Fuego
Province, Argentina, is described and illustrated and compared with similar
species. The species produces principally androgynous and monoclinous, rarely
diclinous antheridial branches; oogonial wall and oospores are distinctly
yellowish at maturity and differ from other species in having also 1-6(-22)
centric-subcentric oospores, in oogonia sometimes apiculate, that are
frequently intercalary or proliferate in chains.
