Abstract:
Ceeveesubramaniomyces litseai gen. et sp. nov., characterized by mononematous conidiophores with a sharply curved, dark brown, hook-like, branch in the middle and ampuliform, monophialidic conidiogenous cells arranged solitary or in verticils above the base, has been isolated from circular, tiny leaf spots found on mature leaves of litsea sp. (Lauraceae) from moist deciduous forests of Yana, Uttara Kannada, Karnataka, India. The novel genus is described and compared with morphologically similar genera such as Cryptophiale, Kionochaeta and Zanclospora.
