Type description

Gelorini et al 2011: Ascospores ellipsoid to broadly fusiform, unequally and unsymmetrically 2-celled, brown to dark brown, 20–30(37)×9–10(15) μm, smooth, thick-walled, often constricted at the septum; each cell with a straight germ slit parallel to the long axis of the ascospores. Based on differences in size of the ascospores and position of the germ slits (centred or not), this morphotype may include some Delitschia species.
