Pleurophragmium peruamazonicum var. inflatum Matsush. , Matsushima Mycol. Mem. 7: 61. 1993.

Typus.

PERU • Loreto, forest Rio Negro ; on decaying leaves of a deciduous tree; Nov 1990; T. Matsushima ( holotype MFC-0 P 570 ) .

Notes.

The variety inflatum differs from the type variety by the conspicuous inflation of the basal portion of the conidium ( Matsushima 1993). It is further characterised by thick-walled septa, with the two basal cells pale brown. However, it remains uncertain whether these distinctions fall within the natural intraspecific variability of the species or represent a separate species.
