https://doi.org/10.1016/S0007-1536(84)80108-4Get rights and content

A revision of the genus Neocosmospora (Ascomycotina, Hypocreales) is presented. Five species are accepted and a key provided, and N. africana von Arx is treated as a variety of N. vasinfecta E.F.Sm., on the basis of SEM investigation of ascospore ornamentation. Short notes on nomenclature, relationships and pathogenicity are included. The existence of diploid and tetraploid races of N. vasinfecta corresponding to small and large ascopore morphs is postulated.
