Abstract

Geotrichopsis mycoparasitica is described as the type species of a new genus, characterized by a rapid growth rate and white, floccose, woolly, patchy, raised pustular colonies. G. mycoparasitica forms arthroconidia by disarticulation of undifferentiated hyphae, and oblong-, spindle-, lobed-, or irregularly-shaped thick-walled chlamydospores. It has dolipore septa and pore cap structures and is capable of parasitizing many fungi. It differs from some superficially closely related genera such as Arthrographis, Geotrichum, Mauginiella and Trichosporon in microscopic and macroscopic characters, septal structure, and/or the teleomorphic affinity.
