Notes.

Microthecium japonicum is characterized by ostiolate ascomata and ellipsoidal to fusiform, punctate-reticulate ascospores, similar to Mi. moureai . However, Mi. japonicum produces a phialidic asexual morph and bulbils (absent in Mi. moureai ) and delicately reticulate ascospores (coarsely reticulate in Mi. moureai ).
