Microthecium japonicum (Y. Horie, Udagawa & P.F. Cannon) Y. Marin, Stchigel, Guarro & Cano comb. nov. Fig. 5I, J

Persiciospora japonica Y. Horie, Udagawa & P.F. Cannon, Mycotaxon 25: 233. 1986. [Basionym]

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).
