Re : Hilberina breviseta
Neither am I familiar. This reminds me of what I have as H. cf. vandervekenii. I never tested whether Hilberinia hairs resist KOH unlike Echinosphaeria where the entire hair wall dissolves in 2-5% KOH?
I do not know breviseta.

HI Savic,
I guess your spore length is inclusive the basal spine. In such case your spores perfectly match those of H. breviseta.

Re : Hilberina breviseta
You're right, I measured the total length. The description of the species (Miller et al. 2014) did not emphasize that the length is without the basal spine. In any case, a very interesting species, both macro and microscopic.

Re : Hilberina breviseta
This is because no one measures these ascospores without including the basal spine. The basal spine is always included in the measurement of the ascospore.
