Description

He's so cute but so hard to photograph! Whenever he rested in a perfect position, I would get ready to take a photo, but then he would decide to look away from the camera. I am not as satisfied with the photos as I had hoped (I spent literally 4 hours trying to get photos of him), but some is better than none! Unfortunately, it was windy, cold, and our friendly neighborhood cat kept following me around, so I had to continuously relocate while photographing this stubborn little guy!

My first attempt at diatoms cleaning.

Three specimens observed, from the same sample of my previous observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/141202070 taken on 2022-11-05.

Stria density: 7-8 per 10 μm (center), 10-11 (extremities).
Puncta density: 11 per 10 μm.
Length 213-225 µm, width 41-44 µm.

Stigmata visible near the central nodule.

According to Diatoms of Europe vol.3 by Kurt Krammer, 2002, it looks like Cymbella peraspera:
“Valves moderately to distinctly dorsiventral, dorsal margin rather evenly arched, ventral margin with a slightly gibbous central portion. Valve ends not protracted and broadly rounded. Length (130)154-320 µm, breadth 44-52 µm, maximal length/breadth ratio about 6. Axial area moderately wide, linear, widening at mid-valve to form a shallow central area, about ¼ to nearly ⅓ of the valve breadth. Raphe slightly lateral, tape ring near proximal and distal ends, becoming filiform near the proximal and the distal ends. Proximal raphe ends with moderately large roundish central pores which are slightly ventrally deflected; terminal fissures sickle-shaped and dorsally bent. Striae throughout radiate. Puncta distinctly and more or less roundish in focus high and low. A large number of stigmata on the ventral side of the central nodule, in focus low differently shaped from the puncta, commonly distant from the middle ventral striae. Striae 5-8/10 µm, becoming up to 10/10 µm near the extremities. Puncta 7-10(11) in 10 µm.”

on Acer negundo, prev obs.
In previous observations, it's been suggested that some of these mystery spots could be being caused by Grovesinia moricola (the new name of Cristulariella moricola), based on this paper here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263651079_Zonate_Leaf_Spot_of_Acer_negundo_Caused_by_Cristulariella_moricola_in_Korea/fulltext/53e9dadc0cf2dc24b3cade88/Zonate-Leaf-Spot-of-Acer-negundo-Caused-by-Cristulariella-moricola-in-Korea.pdf?origin=publication_detail

While the one image does show similar symptoms, I now think that the ones I've seen and some of the other observations in iNat aren't being caused by that species. The spots are just too small, don't turn a dark/muddy brown, aren't particularly zonate, I've seen no evidence of conidia, and it looks like there are a few other species of fungus that affect A. negundo leaves. The ones in this observation are particularly interesting because the black dots appear to be fruiting bodies.

Here's a list of other fungi possibly causing leaf spots in A negundo:
1) Cristulariella pyramidalis, apparently now called Grovesinia pyramidalis. (source:https://www.fdacs.gov/content/download/11120/file/pp113.pdf) G. pyramidalis may or may not be the same as Grovesinia moricola in this context. I can't figure out the synonymy.
2) Phyllosticta negundinis:https://naldc.nal.usda.gov/download/CAT88913039/PDF
3) Exserohilum rostratum: https://apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PDIS-07-20-1424-RE
from https://www.indiananature.net/pages/taxa/Plantae/a/Acer_negundo.php:
4) Phyllosticta minima
5) Rhytisma punctatum
6) Cylindrosporium negundinis
7) Septoria negundinis
8) Cercospora negundinis
