Notes.

Microthecium masonii is characterized by ostiolate ascomata and ellipsoidal to fusiform, faintly striate-reticulate ascospores. The same type of ascospore ornamentation is also observed in Mi. micropertusum , but this latter species is easily distinguished by the presence of inconspicuous ridges forming a very coarse reticulum and a phialidic asexual morph.
