Abstract

Two new anamorphic fungi, Blodgettia chinensis sp. nov. and Nigrolentilocus saprophyticus sp. nov., are described and illustrated from specimens collected on dead branches of unidentified plants in southern China. Blodgettia chinensis is characterized by monoblastic, integrated, terminal conidiogenous cells that produce broadly ellipsoidal, 5-euseptate, smooth conidia with darkened and thickened bands at the septa. Nigrolentilocus saprophyticus is distinguished by its polyblastic, sympodially extending, terminal and intercalary, integrated conidiogenous cells with conspicuous, lenticular conidiogenous loci and ellipsoidal to fusiform, 3-euseptate, versicolored conidia. A key to Nigrolentilocus species is provided. Anapleurothecium botulisporum is recorded for the first time from China.
