Acrogenospora novae-zelandiae S. Hughes 1978
Hyphae mostly immersed, branched. septate. pale brown to brown, 3.5-7.2um wide. Conidiophores erect. straight or flexuous. black and opaque for much of their length and pale brown to brown above: only the upper transverse septa can be seen. They are tip to 720um long. 10-16um widebelow, tapering to 5.5-6.5um wide at the apex which can bear up to 9 percurrent proliferations.
Conidia subspherical at first but soon becoming broadly ellipsoidal to broadly obovoid and at maturity they are frequently more-or-less oblong. Conidia are translucent when young and also at maturity when they are brown to dark brown thus permitting the thick, hyaline inner wall to be seen. Conidia measure 26-54 X 21.5-30.5um, mostly 36-48 X 24-27um
