Stratiphoromyces brunneisporus gen. et sp. nov. occurring on decaying petioles of Licuala spp., collected from rain forests in Australia and Brunei, is described and illustrated. It is unique in producing a globose mass of brown, uniseptate, curved, setulate conidia, from percurrently proliferating conidiogenous cells at the apex of solitary, erect, unbranched, brown conidiophores. The genus is briefly compared with Dictyochaeta and other similar hyphomycetes.
