Abstract
The examination of decaying twig samples fallen on the forest floor in the Andaman Islands, India yielded a new fungal species in the genus Kamalomyces (Tubeufiaceae). The new species, Kamalomyces polyseptatus is described in this paper supported by photomicrographs. The novel species is characterized by superficial, scattered, globose to sub-globose, dark brown to black ascomata covered by dense black mycelium, clavate asci, vermiform, elongate, transverse septate, hyaline ascospores. The new species K. polyseptatus is easily distinguishable from other species of the genus by the presence of higher number of septa in the ascospores. A synopsis of salient features of different species of Kamalomycesis provided along with a dichotomous key to the known species of Kamalomyces.
