Abstract

Endogenospora aspectabilis anam. gen. et sp. nov. found on a decaying branch in the “Las Veras” rainforest, Lara State, Venezuela, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by endogenous conidium ontogeny development at the reduced internal area of inflated or globose bases of conidiophores, vase-shaped conidiogenous cells and clavate to sub-cylindrical, (5–)7-septate, brown conidia with truncate base and rounded apex.
