Type description

Van Geel et al 2011: Ascospores ellipsoidal, non-septate, ca. 32×22 μm. The dark brown surface is ornamented with 3–4 μm wide hyaline pits. This Gelasinospora species is similar to G. retispora. The ascospores of Gelasinospora dictyophora differ from it in their ornamentation, with large, more rounded pits forming a network pattern in the spore wall (Khan and Krug, 1989).
