Type description

Gelorini et al 2011: Ascospores ellipsoid to globose, equilaterally one-celled, dark brown, 20–24×18–24 μm, smooth, thick-walled; germ slit straight, running over the entire spore-length and enclosed by a pale brown zone. When seen in polar view or a particular side view, the germ slit may be invisible; often the ascospore is also disrupted by a weakening of the germ slit.
