Parateichospora
Parateichospora Crous, in Crous et al., Persoonia 46: 409 (2021)
Index Fungorum number: IF 839541; Facesoffungi number: FoF xx, 1 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 1 species with molecular data.
Saprobic on leaf. Sexual morph: Unknown. Asexual morph: Conidiomata pycnidial, solitary to aggregated, brown, globose, ostiolate, with or without long neck; wall of 6–8 layers of hyaline to pale brown textura angularis. Conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells lining inner cavity, hyaline, smooth, ampulliform, proliferating percurrently at apex. Conidia solitary, aseptate, hyaline, smooth, guttulate, becoming brown with age, ellipsoid, apex subobtuse, tapering to truncate hilum (adapted from Crous et al. 2021b).
Type species: Parateichospora phoenicicola Crous
Notes: Parateichospora is a monotypic genus characterized by pycnidial conidiomata, ampulliform conidiogenous cells proliferating percurrently at apex and aseptate, hyaline conidia. Parateichospora resembles members of Teichosporaceae in having phoma-like asexual morphs (Crous et al. 2018b). Parateichospora is phylogenetically a distinct genus in Teichosporaceae with good statistical support.
