Paragaeumannomyces lapazianus is common on decaying wood in the neotropics and is known from the Caribbean in Puerto Rico and Jamaica, from Central America in Costa Rica, and from South America in French Guiana ( Carroll and Munk 1964; Huhndorf and Fernández 2005).

Notes.

For description, illustration and holotype information see Carroll and Munk (1964) and Huhndorf and Fernández (2005). Paragaeumannomyces lapazianus has 7-septate ascospores and the largest ascomata in the genus, (400-)500-950 μm diam and 525-825(-1025) μm high fide Huhndorf and Fernández (2005), and forms a craspedodidymum-like anamorph in vitro. The anamorph is characterised by inflated, pigmented conidiogenous cells with a flared collarette and oblate to horizontally oblong conidia with a short abscission scar or frill and without setulae.
