Description

Type: Xylophilous Fungi; Description: Ascomata perithecial, scattered, superficial, globose with a long neck, black, 0.1–0.3 mm in diameter, perithecial necks straight or curved, frequently annulate, black, 1200–2500 μm long, ostiolar hyphae divergent, 17–75 μm long, hyaline; in insect galleries in inner bark or outer sapwood and as hyphae in sapwood. Asci evanescent. Ascospores allantoid, 0-septate, 4–5 × 1–1.5 μm, smooth, hyaline. Conidiogenous cells denticulate. Conidia produced sympodially upon the denticles, cylindrical to clavate, 0-septate, 4–10 × 1–2 μm, smooth, hyaline.

Distribution

Distribution: Auckland, Bay of Plenty.; 1st Record: Yeates (1924: as Ceratostomella sp.).
