GenBank: KP192127 and KP999978 MycoBank: MB 818669

Type: — CHINA. Guizhou Province: Libo County, N25°24′39.98′′, E107°53′13′′, soil, Y. Wang, May, 2013, Holotype GZUIFR-F0044 (dried culture), ex-type living culture CGMCC 3.18309 (F0044H).

Colonies on Czapek agar 50–52 mm diam. after 7 d at 40 °C, flat, white, densely fluffy, irregular margined, lightly wavy, reverse brown in the center, gray white in margins.

Phialides single, borne laterally on vegetative hyphae, smooth-walled, 5–15 × 1–3 μm (x = 11.2 ± 2.2 × 1.6 ± 0.3, n = 30), with a cylindrical or ellipsoidal basal portion, tapering into a distinct neck, sometimes proliferating phialides. Conidia 2.5–5.4 × 1.5–3 μm (x = 3.8 ± 1.1 × 2.6 ± 0.2, n = 50), one-celled, ellipsoidal to oval, smooth-walled, forming long chains.
