Mycelium superficial or immersed, compose of pale brown to brown, branched, smooth, thin-walled, septate hyphae, constricted at septa, with a mucilaginous outer wall layer. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Pycnidia superficial or immersed, brown to dark brown, globose or pyriform, intercalary, meristogenous in development, pseudoparenchymatous, thin-walled. Ostiole lacking or not well- developed, mostly releasing conidia by means of irregular rupture. Conidia hyaline, aseptate, oblong to ellipsoid, with minute guttules, smooth and thin-walled (Abdollahzadeh et al. 2020).
Notes: Abdollahzadeh et al. (2020) established Neoasbolisia with the type species of Neoasbolisia phylicae. Neoasbolisia is similar to Neoantennariella by superficial or immersed, mostly globose or pyriform, brown to dark brown, ostiole lacking pycnidia, and hyaline, aseptate, guttulate conidia. However, Neoasbolisia has oblong to ellipsoid conidia, lacking moniliform hyphae and pycnidial stalk while the latter has ellipsoid to ovoid conidia, moniliform hyphae and stalked pycnidia (Fig. 1).
Type species: Neoasbolisia phylicae Abdollahz. & Crous, Stud. Mycol. 95: 407 (2020).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Neoasbolisia.
