Beltrania nodulosa sp. nov. From Ecuador

Abstract:

Beltrania nodulosa, a new species found on a decaying leaf of an unidentified plant in Ecuador, is described and illustrated. The fungus is characterized by cylindricalnodulose conidiophores and primarily monoblastic integrated mostly intercalary nodose conidiogenous cells. Its solitary and mostly pleurogenous broadly biconic to rhombic conidia are obtuse or rounded at the apex and inconspicuously mammillate at the base below the inconspicuous transverse supra-equatorial hyaline band.
