Abstract

Ancorasporella mexicana gen. et sp. nov., collected on the dead leaf stalk of an unidentified fern in a cloud forest in the state of Veracruz, México, is described and illustrated. This singular hyphomycete is distinguished from known genera by its euseptate, triangular or fusiform conidia which are attached at 90° to the long axis of the cicatrized conidiogenous cell.
