Coniochaeta krabiensis

Description

2.5.3 Coniochaeta krabiensis

Coniochaeta krabiensis formed a monophyletic group with C. tetraspora and another new species (C. arenariae) in the same study (Dayarathne et al. 2020a). Morphologically, C. krabiensis fits within the generic description of Coniochaeta with its two-layered peridium, cylindrical asci with an apical apparatus and dark brown, ellipsoidal ascospores with a germ slit which are arranged uniseriately in the asci (GarcÍa et al. 2006). Coniochaeta krabiensis differs from C. tetraspora in having longer, narrower, 8-spored asci and smaller ascospores (Cain 1961).
