Saprobic on dead submerged stem. Sexual morph: Ascomata solitary to scattered, immersed, uniloculate, globose, glabrous, dark brown to black, coriaceous, with ostiolate papilla. Peridium 4–5 layered, outer layer heavily pigmented, comprising reddish to dark brown, thick-walled cells of textura angularis, inner layer comprising hyaline, thin-walled cells of textura angularis. Pseudoparaphyses numerous, cellular, septate, branched. Asci 8-spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, cylindrical to cylindric-clavate, pedicellate, with an ocular chamber. Ascospores overlapping uni- to bi-seriate, fusiform, hyaline to golden-pale brown, transversely septate, with pointed ends (Hyde et al. 2016b). Asexual morph: Undetermined.

Notes: Arundellina is a monotypic genus introduced for A. typhae, which was isolated from submerged stems of Typha sp. (Typhaceae) in Arun River in UK (Hyde et al. 2016b). The combined LSU and SSU sequence data placed it in Lindgomycetaceae (Hyde et al. 2016b). The globose ascomata, cylindric-clavate asci with thick-walled apex, fusiform, 3–4 transversely septate, golden-pale brown ascospores with pointed ends of A. typhae are unique in Lindgomycetaceae.

 

Type species: Arundellina typhae Wanas., E.B.G. Jones & K.D. Hyde
