Etymology: Named after cylindrical, elongated, verruculose primary conidia, and conidial ornamentations similar to Torula species. Holotype: AMH 10228 Saprobic on decaying Cocos nucifera spathe. Sexual morph Undetermined. Asexual morph Hyphomycetous. Conidiomata sporodochial, scattered, greyish, dark greyish brown or dark brown. Conidiophores micronematous, mononematous, reduced, cylindrical, smooth, erect, unbranched or rarely branched. Conidiogenous cells cylindrical or button- shaped, produce primary and secondary conidia.
