New and interesting species of Neosartorya from Brazilian soil

Abstract

Neosartorya udagawae, a new heterothallic species isolated from Brazilian soil, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by dull green colony on malt extract agar, light yellow large ascomata, broadly lenticular ascospores with two equatorial or several irregular crests and tuberculate convex surfaces, and with an Aspergillus anamorph. Neosartorya aureola is also described as a new record from Brazilian soil.
