Descriptions
Chalarodes McKenzie 1991
he genus Chalarodes, typified with Cha. bisetis, was erected for dematiaceous hyphomycetes observed on leaf litter of Freycinetia spp. in New Zealand and New Caledonia (McKenzie 1991). It is characterised by mononematous, simple, dark brown conidiophores with terminal monophialidic conidiogenous cells extending percurrently and hyaline, aseptate, cuneiform, obconical to obtriangular conidia with setulae, adhered in short basipetal chains. In the protologue (McKenzie 1991), the conidia were described only in the side view with two simple setulae at the apical end. Based on the examination of newly collected material, the conidia have angular outline when viewed from above; they have (3–)4 corners with a setula inserted in each corner. Additionally, we observed sterile setae growing among the conidiophores or on the ascomatal wall. They resemble capitate hyphae of Catenularia, but the mucilaginous sheath around the apex was lacking.
