Descriptions
This species has nothing to do with Stenella as well as Zasmidium and is not cercosporoid at all. The superficial mycelium is smooth, conidiogenous cells have a geniculate, characteristic zig-zag structure with numerous truncate, unthickened conidiogenous loci and catenate conidia with truncate base and unthickened hila. The generic affinity of this species is quite unclear, but this fungus reminds one of asexual morphs of the Venturiaceae, above all Pseudocladosporium.
Notes: This species is quite distinct from Stenella and Zasmidium and rather pseudocladosporium-like. The mycelium, conidiophores and conidia are smooth-walled, the conidiogenous loci and conidial hila are truncate, neither thickened nor darkened, and the conidia are formed in simple or branched acropatal chains.
