Abstract
Both sexual and asexual morphs (holomorph) are known in several genera of Tubeufiaceae whereas in others, mainly the asexual or rarely the sexual morph is known. The genus Neohelicosporium is known only by its asexual morph, we have recently collected the sexual morph of the genus, which is characterized by fleshy, superficial ascomata, bitunicate asci, and hyaline to pale brown, fusiform ascospores. Analyses of combined ITS, LSU and tef1 sequence data placed the taxon in Neohelicosporium. In this paper, we introduce the new taxon N. fusisporum based on both morphological characteristics and phylogenetic data.
