Saprobic on dead leaves Nectandra sp. Sexual morph: Ascomata black, solitary or somewhat gregarious, superficial, linear, flat, dehiscing with raised central rounded ostiole, multilocular, glabrous. Apothecial wall composed of black cells of textura intricata in the upper part, become hyaline cells of textura angularis in the basal part. Asci hyaline, bitunicate, 8-spored, numerous, irregularly or lenearly arranged, fusiform, broadly ovate, wedge-shaped, subglobose or irregular, broadly rounded above, narrow below, short-stalked or stalked, smooth-walled. Ascospores hyaline, oblong, 2–4 seriate or multiseriate, thick-walled, slightly curved, broadly rounded above, narrow below, 1-septate, slightly constricted at the septum, smooth.

Type species: Lembosiopeltis nectandrae Bat. & J.L. Bezerra

 

Notes: Pseudorobillarda was introduced by Morelet (1968) to accommodate P. phragmitis as type species. Pseudorobillarda accommodate species characterized by conidia with basal appendages. Species of Pseudorobillarda are mostly differentiated by presence or absence of paraphyses and conidial structures such as position, shape, length/size and septation (Nag Raj 1993). Li et al. (2020) recently provided an account of the genus.
