Abstract

Turturconchata reticulata gen. et sp. nov., isolated from the decaying stem of an herbaceous dicotyledon, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by dorsiventrally flattened olive brown conidia composed of 19–58 cells. The conidia are borne horizontally on a cuneiform basal cell originating from flexuous, curved to spiral, septate, simple or branched, indeterminate conidiogenous cells. The differences between T. reticulata and the morphologically or ontogenically somewhat related Canalisporium, Hermatomyces, Mycoenterolobium and Oncopodium are briefly discussed.
