Abstract
An anamorphic fungus was isolated from fresh specimens of Orbilia species collected in Yunnan Province, China. The fungus was characterized by very short conidiophores and 1–5 septate cylindrical conidia, and most closely related phylogenetically to Dactylella vermiformis that produces branched conidiophores and 0–1 septate conidia, but the calculated similarity of ITS sequences was only 83% between the two fungus species. Considering the morphological characteristics and the calculated similarity value, a new species, Dactylella pseudobrevistipitata, was described with holotype YMF 1.03504.
