A new species of Helicascus ( H. gallicus) is described and illustrated from submerged wood collected from aquatic habitats in western and southern France. It is morphologically characterized by multilocular ascomata covered by a thick clypeus and sharing a common ostiole, clavate asci with endoascus coiling in the pedicel, cellular pseudoparaphyses, and brown 2-celled ascospores with a marked submedian septum. Its relationships with other species of Helicascus are discussed based on morphology and 28S and ITS nrDNA sequence comparisons.
