Conlarium is the only holomorphic genus in the family and characterized by dark brown to black ascomata with a long, cylindrical neck, cylindrical asci with a short pedicellate and a large apical ring, fusiform, hyaline ascospores, with or without globose or papillary appendages, and muriform, irregular-shaped conidia (Liu et al. 2012). Conlarium comprises terrestrial and freshwater species described from natural substrate and artificial culture (Liu et al. 2012, Zhang et al. 2017, Phookamsak et al. 2019, Xie et al. 2019). We introduce a new asexual species in Conlarium, which is collected from submerged wood in freshwater in Thailand. A new collection of C. aquaticum from China is also described and illustrated.

Type species: Conlarium dupliciascosporum F. Liu & L. Cai

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Conlarium.
