Later, seven additional species were introduced in the genus. The genus is characterized by discoid sporodochia (or synnemata) with marginal setae, sparingly branched to verticillate conidiophores, compact and phialidic conidiogenous cells, and 1-celled, ovoid to oblong conidia. asexond asexual morph is present in some species with two or more w ...
