Flavocillium primulinum

Flavocillium primulinum (Kaifuchi et al.) H. Yu, Y.B. Wang, Y. Wang & Zhu L. Yang, comb. nov. Mycobank: MB 833103.

Basionym: Lecanicillium primulinum Kaifuchi et al., Mycoscience. 54: 294–293 (2013)

Descriptions and illustrations: Kaifuchi et al. (2013).

Distribution: Known from Okinawa Prefecture, Japan (Kaifuchi et al. 2013).

Notes: The type strain of F. primulinum was isolated from soil under an unidentifed plant. It is characterized by phialides produced on prostrate aerial hyphae, solitary or in whorls of two to fve which taper toward the apex, ellipsoidal to cylindrical macroconidia and oval to ellipsoidal microconidia aggregate in subglobose to ellipsoidal heads at the apex of the phialides, presenting octahedral crystals (Kaifuchi et al. 2013). Phylogenetically, this species is close to F. bifurcatum and F. subprimulinum, but it difers morphologically from F. bifurcatum by the latter’s cymbiform macroconidia and smaller microconidia of 2.1–4.2×0.9–1.5 µm in size.
