Resumo

The results of a biodiversity survey for myxomycetes, carried out in montane
rainforests of the Ecological Reserve “Alturas de Banao” in the Macizo Guamuahaya
Mountains of central Cuba, are reported here. The survey yielded more than 200 field
collections of myxomycetes, and 56 species were identified, from these field collections and
moist chamber culture collections. Amongst these were 23 species recorded for the first time
from Cuba: Arcyria afroalpina, A. globosa, Badhamia melanospora, Ceratiomyxa
sphaerosperma, Clastoderma debaryanum, Collaria lurida, Comatricha laxa, C. nigra, C.
tenerrima, Craterium concinnum, Cribraria microcarpa, C. tenella, Diderma corrugatum,
Didymium iridis, Echinostelium bisporum, E. minutum, Hemitrichia pardina, Licea bulbosa, L.
erecta var. erectoides, L. scyphoides, Perichaena vermicularis, Physarum crateriforme, and P.
galbeum, Dead leaves of the palm Roystonea regia were an especially productive substrate for
myxomycetes, with members of the Trichiales particularly abundant. The myxomycetes
recorded from this most recent survey, increases the total number of species reported for the
Reserve to 69.
