Yu et al. (2018) established Cylindroconidiis to accommodate Cylindroconidiis aquaticus, as the type species, based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of combined LSU, SSU, and ITS datasets. This species was isolated from submerged decaying wood in a freshwater habitat. In the phylogenetic tree, it was positioned between Rhopalophora species and Fusichalara minuta. The sexual morph of this genus is undetermined. The asexual morph is characterized by superficial, effuse, gregarious, hairy colonies, which are partly immersed, and composed of septate, smooth hyphae. The conidiophores are macronematous, mononematous, cylindrical, erect, smooth, unbranched, septate, and thin-walled. Conidiogenous cells are holoblastic, polyblastic, integrated, determinate, terminal or intercalary and conidia are acrogenous and pleurogenic, cylindrical to oblong, euseptate, pigmented, solitary (Yu et al. 2018). In this study, we introduce Cylindroconidiis doitungensis as a novel species found on dead wood of Microcos paniculata from Doi Tung National Park, Thailand.
Type species: Cylindroconidiis doitungensis N. Afshari, Lumyong & K.D. Hyde.
