Notes

Endophragmiella curvata has been found on dead branches from Guangdong Province, China ( Ma 2012). Morphologically, E. curvata is similar to E. novae-zelandiae S. Hughes ( Hughes 1979), but the conidia of E. novae-zelandiae are larger than those of E. curvata (27-40 × 9.3-12.6 µm vs.14.5-21 × 6-7.5 µm) and the E. novae-zelandiae also has two septa conidia ( Hughes 1979).
