Abstract

Taxonomic studies on Acrodictys and related genera in China has yielded 13 taxa including a new species, Acrodictys porosiseptata sp. nov., characterized by indeterminate conidiophores with successive lageniform proliferations and muriform conidia usually with 4–5 parallel transverse septa, several longitudinal or oblique septa, and the presence of conspicuous septal pores. Acrodictys atroapicula, A. irregularis, A. micheliae, Pseudoacrodictys deightonii, and Rhexoacrodictys fuliginosa are newly recorded for China. Descriptions and illustrations of all taxa are provided, and similarities or differences with morphologically close taxa are discussed.
