Аннотация:The new species Wawelia amyloasca is described from the dung of Siberian roe deer in the Russian Far East. This is the firstpublished record of Wawelia for more than 20 years, the only record outside Europe, and the only discovery made in the field, eventhough the genus was described in 1908. The new taxon is characterized by the longest stromata in the genus reaching 120 mm,ascospores with polar pad-like appendages, and asci with a well-noticeable amyloid apical apparatus, which is unique within thegenus. Wawelia is accommodated within the family Xylariaceae together with other coprophilous genera, which was proved bythe phylogenetic analysis using four markers, ITS, LSU, BenA, and RPB2, the latter two being obtained for the first time for thegenus. A complete bibliography is given and a comparative table including all known species of Wawelia is presented.
