Saprobic on hosts. Sexual morph: Unknown. Asexual morph: Conidiomata pycnidial, brown, confluent or solitary; pycnidium wall of textura angularis, glabrous or with short hyphal outgrowths, globose to subglobose, with one or two papillate ostioles. Conidiogenous cells phialidic, hyaline, smooth-walled, globose or ampulliform.
