Raffaelea Quercus-mongolicae
''Raffaelea'' is a genus of ambrosia fungi in the family Ophiostomataceae. It was circumscribed by mycologists Josef Adolph von Arx and Grégoire L. Hennebert in 1965 with ''Raffaelea ambrosiae'' as the type species. The genus is named in honor of Italian botanist Raffaele Ciferri. Laurel wilt is a disease of redbay (''Persea borbonia'') caused by ''Raffaelea lauricola''. This fungus, harbored in the mycangium of the redbay ambrosia beetle ''Xyleborus glabratus'', is in the form of a budding yeast in the mycangium and a filamentous fungus in galleries of the beetle. Several species also resident in the beetle were described as new to science in 2010: '' R. ellipticospora'', '' R. fusca'', '' R. subalba'', and '' R. subfusca''.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...

Raffaelea Quercivora
''Raffaelea quercivora'' is a species of fungus in the family Ophiostomataceae. It causes Japanese oak wilt disease, and is spread by the ambrosia beetle (''Platypus quercivorus''). It has small obovoid to pyriform sympodioconidia and slender, long conidiophores. The fungus has been isolated from the body surfaces and mycangia The term mycangium (pl., mycangia) is used in biology for special structures on the body of an animal that are adapted for the transport of symbiotic fungi (usually in spore form). This is seen in many xylophagous insects (e.g. horntails and bark b ... of the beetle.
