Description
Summary:Varioseptispora chinensis, a new genus and species, collected on decaying twigs of unidentified plants in Hainan, China, is described and illustrated. The genus is characterized by macronematous, unbranched, conidiophores with polytretic, integrated, terminal or intercalary conidiogenous cells that produce solitary, acropleurogenous distoseptate and euseptate, brown conidia. The illegitimate Helminthosporium apicale V. Rao & de Hoog is accommodated in Varioseptispora as the replacement name V. apicalis ; and two Spadicoides spp. are accommodated as the new combinations V. hodgkissii and V. versiseptatis. A synoptic table and key to Varioseptispora species are provided.
