Sterigmatospora Q.M. Wang & F.Y. Bai View in CoL View at ENA gen. nov. MycoBank MB828810.

Etymology: the genus is named based on the morphology of the vegetative cells, which produce conidia on stalk-like conidiophores.

This genus is proposed for the branch represented by strain CGMCC 2.5817, which formed a separate clade. Member of the Jianyuniaceae ( Agaricostilbales ). The genus is mainly circumscribed by the phylogenetic analysis of the seven genes dataset, in which it occurred as a separate branch within Jianyuniaceae ( Fig. 4A View Fig ).

Sexual reproduction not known. Colonies cream, butyrous. Budding cells present and blastoconidia produced on stalk-like conidiophores. Conidiophore single or multiple, usually cluster on cells. Pseudohyphae and hyphae not produced. Ballistoconidia not formed.

Type species: Sterigmatospora layueensis Q.M. Wang, F.Y. Bai & A.H. Li. View in CoL

Note: Sterigmatospora and Pseudosterigmatospora can produce stalk-like conidiophores, the former usually produces cluster of conidiophores from one site on cells, the latter can form bifurcate or trifurcate conidophores. They are also distinguished by some physiological characteristics ( Table S1.21 View Table 1 ), such as assimilation of raffinose and growth in vitamin-free medium.
