ADDITIONAL MATERIAL EXAMINED: BAY OF PLENTY: Aongetete Lodge, dead leaf of Weinmannia racemosa, 9 May 2003, PDD 76612, ICMP 15065.

Conidiophores macronematous, mononematous, brown, 5–6-septate, with base lobed, up to 150 × 5 µm, thick-walled, tapering to a narrowed apex. Conidiogenous cells phialidic, pale, in adpressed whorls around septa. Conidia falcate, 4–6 × 1–1.5 µm.

Conidiophora macronematosa, mononematosa, brunnea, 5, 6 septata, basi lobato, usque 150 × 5 µm, parietibus incrassatis, ad apicem angustatam attenuata. Cellulae conidiogenae phialidicae, pallidae, in verticillis appressis circum septa dispositae. Conidia falcata, 4–6 × 1–1.5 µm.

New Zealand species of Zanclospora were discussed by Hughes & Kendrick (1965) and a recent discussion of this genus with a key was provided by Calduc et al. (2001). Zanclospora ureweri differs from the closest species Z. austroamericana, which has conidia 12–19 × 2–3 µm and has a restricted fertile region, and from Z. novae-zelandiae, which has conidia 18–35 × 1.6–2.6 µm and branched conidiophores with a warty apex. [JAC - see later notes against Type for possible relationship with Selensoporella. The existence of phialides in this material needs verifying]
