Abstract

A new anamorphic fungus is described based on four isolates from ascospores of Orbilia aff. luteorubella. This fungus differs from previously known Orbilia anamorphs in producing inversely pyramidal, unicellular conidia with several protuberances at their distal end. Conidia produce from 1-7 prominent denticles that emerge from a node at the conidiophore apex. Conidiogenesis is holoblastic. Among the isolates some variation in the number of protuberances was observed ranging from 3 to 5 to 7. Based on analyses showing above 90% ITS similarity, four isolates were treated as a single species. In the sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of rDNA, these isolates and other sequences identified as O. aff. luteorubella are nested within Orbilia, and clustered a clade supported with a bootstrap of 99. This clade is separated from nematode-trapping fungi of Orbilia. Based on both morphological and molecular analyses, we propose a new genus, Pseudotripoconidium.
