A new genus and species of asexual ascomycete, Parathozetella microsperma, has been described and illustrated from decaying plant material collected from rainforest areas in Mato Grosso and Para States. The new genus resembles Thozetella in several features, such as sporodochial conidiomata, presence of microawns, and enteroblastic monophialidic conidiogenesis that produces lunate conidia, but can be easily distinguished by the absence of setulae.
A new genus and species of asexual ascomycete, Parathozetella microsperma, are described and illustrated from decaying plant material collected from three rainforest areas in Mato Grosso and Para States. The new genus resembles Thozetella in sporodochial conidiomata, presence of microawns, and enteroblastic monophialidic conidiogenesis that produces lunate conidia, but Parathozetella can be easily distinguished by the absence of setulae.
