Culture characteristics (14 days at 25 ° C): Colony on PDA reaching 24 – 27 mm diam. thick, white, margin entire, reverse similarly coloured. Colony on OA reaching 27 – 29 mm diam. flat, grey, margin entire, reverse similarly coloured. No growth of observed on SNA. Mycelium consisting of hyaline, smooth-walled, branched, septate, 1 – 3 μm diam. hyphae. Sporulation abundant and phalacrogenous. Phialides usually monocillium-like with moderately thick-walled 1 – 2.5 μm wide basal portion, sometimes percurrently proliferating with a twisted or spiral apex and sometimes ending with a sterile vesicle, (37 –) 45 – 64 μm. Conidia adhering in slimy heads, aseptate, hyaline, smooth- and thin-walled, elongated-cylindrical, gradually tapering towards ends, hardly truncate at base, curved, 6.5 – 11.5 × 1.5 – 2.5 μm (av. 9.1 × 2.6 μm, n = 30). Chlamydospores and sexual morph not observed.	en	Tian, Xin, Zhang, Ming-Yi, Hou, Jian-Gan, Wu, Yun-Jie, Zhang, Zhi-Yuan (2026): Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal two new species of Niesslia (Niessliaceae, Hypocreales) from China.
