SUMMARY
Anamorph: colonies in elongated pustules to ca 10 mm long and 2-3 µm broad, dark brown to black. Stromata well-developed, erumpent, composed of a basal layer of ± hyaline angular tissue and an upper layer of thick-walled dark brown cells. Setae and hyphopodia absent. Conidiophores in a broad palisade, to ca 35 µm long and 8-12 µm diam., unbranched, ± straight, hyaline to pale brown, smooth, the end cell forming a broad cylindrical conidiogenous cell with rounded apex, proliferating sympodially with conidia developing through slightly pigmented pores, not clearly cicatrized. Conidia 10-12 (-16) µm diam., ± globose, initially hyaline but eventually becoming pale brown, aseptate, rather thin-walled, verruculose, without a gelatinous sheath or appendages.
Teleomorph: claimed to be Scirrhia rimosa by Obrist (1959), but there is no firm evidence that links the two morphs apart from spatial association.
