1735. U.S.A., Seattle, University of Washington campus, isolated from Phyllactinia<br />

sp. (Erysiphaceae) on leaves of Corylus sp. (Corylaceae), 16 Sep. 2004, D. Glawe,<br />

CPC 11813.<br />

Substrates <strong>and</strong> distribution: Hypersaline water <strong>and</strong> plant material;<br />

Israel, U.S.A.<br />

Notes: <strong>Cladosporium</strong> subtilissimum <strong>and</strong> C. cladosporioides are<br />

morphologically comparable with the new species C. tenellum, but<br />

C. cladosporioides deviates in having usually smooth conidiophores<br />

<strong>and</strong> conidia with only few conidiogenous loci <strong>and</strong> conidial hila crowded<br />

at the apex <strong>and</strong> somewhat wider conidiophores, 3–5(–6) µm; <strong>and</strong><br />

in C. subtilissimum the small terminal conidia are not globose but<br />

rather narrowly obovoid to limoniform, the conidiogenous loci <strong>and</strong><br />

conidial hila are somewhat wider, (0.5–)0.8–2(–2.2) µm, <strong>and</strong> at the<br />

apices of conidiophores <strong>and</strong> conidia only few scars are formed.<br />

<strong>Cladosporium</strong> ramotenellum, which morphologically also<br />

resembles C. tenellum, possesses longer <strong>and</strong> narrower, 0–3-septate<br />

conidia, 2.5–35 × 2–4(–5) µm, but forms only few conidiogenous<br />

loci <strong>and</strong> conidial hila at the apices of conidiophores <strong>and</strong> conidia.<br />
