K&J REMARKS The type specimen is incompletely illustrated; text-fig. V shows two conidia found in it. However, as the type specimen is described as a fungus, not as a fungal spore, Kalgutkar and Jansonius (2000) consider that both illustrated conidia are part of the holotype and that their name is validly published.
