 Index Fungorum number: IF 822592; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08505, 1 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 1 species with molecular data.

Associated with leaf spot. Sexual morph: Unknown. Asexual morph: Mycelium internal, composed of hyaline to pale brown hyphae. Conidiophores solitary, simple, pale to brown, straight or mildly sinuous, geniculate. Conidiogenous cells terminal and intercalary, geniculate-sinuous, determinate or proliferating sympodially, monoblastic, with conidiogenous loci slightly thickened, darkened and refractive, located on the shoulders and apex. Conidia solitary, hyaline, smooth, obovoid, long-obclavate, straight or slightly curved, base obconical truncate or short obconical truncate, apex rounded, aseptate or euseptate, hila slightly thickened, darkened and refractive (adapted from Videira et al. 2017).
