The description is largely based on DAOM 220988 due to good development of conidiomata. However, we select DAOM 230637 as the holotype, because DNA data are only available for this specimen. Microscopic data of the two specimens are identical. This species is currently only known as an asexual morph. One specimen from Victoria (DAVFP 3092) contains also an immature sexual morph, which corresponds to
