Abstract:
A new anamorphic species, Pleurophragmium indicum (Ascomycota), is described from India and illustrated. This litter-inhabiting fungus was collected from dead Dendrocalamus strictus leaves and is characterized by ellipsoidal to obovoid, straight to curved, transversely 3-septate, brown conidia. A key is provided to all accepted Pleurophragmium species.
