Abstract
A sporophyte measure 5.5 mm long and shows a short, slender seta and an oval erect, capsule. A smooth, hood shaped calyptra covers the top. It contains ten spore sacs (spore chambers) in longitudinal section. The spore sacs measures are 1.7 mm long and 300 to 500 µm in diameter are separated by parenchymatous septae. The apophysis is poorly differentiated. The operculum is seen as an outline. Columella and peristomial teeth are lacking. Spore and spores tetrad are surrounded by pseudo-elaters. The spores are meiogenous, arranged in tetrahedral tetrads. The seta is short and slender. The calyptra is hood-shaped. As it shows close similarities with Krempogonium mohgaonensis (Nambudiri, Chitaley & Yawale, 2004) it is kept under the genus Krempogonium as a new species Krempogonium deccanii sp.nov.
