Type description

Conidia cylindrical with flattened ends, unequally and subsymmetrically 4- or 6-celled, 50–61×12–14 μm, smooth, thick-walled, slightly constricted at the septa; central cells pale to dark brown, almost of equal size; end cells paler, short, discoid or somewhat truncate, flattened or slightly rounded at free ends (often absent): Gelorini et al 2011

Conidia are 45–50 × 15–17 μm in size, composed of 4 to 6 cells with dark central and hyaline short apical cells, subtruncate at both ends; the spore is slightly constricted at septa, with a smooth wall 1–2 μm thick. Inner dark septa 3–4 μm thick, distal septa 1–1.5 μm. Central cells are normally equal but sometimes unequal (compare Plate III: 13 and 14). Some spores were found within the conidiophore, showing production of 5 and 3-septate spores by the same fungus specimen (Plate III: 15): Shumilovskikh et al 2017
