Habitat and geographical distribution.

Saprobe on submerged wood, known only in China ( Luo et al. 2019).

Notes.

Catenularia catenulata is characterised by solitary conidiophores, absence of capitate hyphae and conidia 13-15 × 12-14 μm, greyish-brown, turbinate, triangular in side view with 3-4 corners when viewed from above ( Luo et al. 2019). It resembles C. malabrica ( Subramanian and Bhat 1989), but the latter species has larger conidia 12-18 × 18-21 μm with 4-5 corners.
