Type description

Gelorini et al 2011: Ascospores ellipsoid, (un)equally and (a)symmetrically 2-celled, yellow, 24–32×8–11 μm, smooth, slightly thick-walled, constricted at the septum, with slightly tapering ends. Based on small differences in the morphology of the single cells (symmetrical versus asymmetrical, small versus large), this type probably includes different species or genera.
