Fig. 41 Katumotoa bambusicola (from HHUF 28663, holotype). a Ascomata scattered on the host surface. b Asci in pseudoparaphyses. c<br />

Hyaline ascospore with long terminal appendages. d Clavate ascus with a short pedicel. Scale bars: a=0.5 mm. b–d=20 μm<br />

unraveling appendages are the most striking features of<br />

this species and readily distinguish it from other<br />

pleosporalean taxa. Both Katumotoa bambusicola and<br />

Ophiosphaerella sasicola are associated with bambusicolous<br />

hosts, which might indicate that host spectrum in<br />

this case, has greater phylogenetic significance than some<br />

morphological characters (Zhang et al. 2009a).<br />

Generic description<br />

Habitat terrestrial or freshwater, saprobic. Ascomata smallto<br />

medium-sized, immersed, erumpent to nearly superficial,<br />

globose, papillate, ostiolate. Papilla covered by dark setae<br />

or small blackened cells. Peridium thick, composed of cells<br />

of pseudoparenchymatous and inner layer composed of pale<br />

cells. Hamathecium of dense, long pseudoparaphyses,<br />

rarely septate, anastomosing and branching. Asci 4- or 8-<br />
