gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from nest of the stingless bee.

In this study, a novel genus is proposed, , with a novel species, , isolated from nests of stingless bees ( sp.). The taxonomic novelty was determined by the phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from the internal transcribed spacer regions, small subunit rRNA (18S rRNA), large subunit rRNA (28S rRNA) and the RNA polymerase II second-largest subunit gene () and paired with our morphological studies. Based on this single species, is characterized by greyish green to dark grey colonies, densely and profusely branched conidiophores and single-celled, variously shaped hyaline conidia. constitutes a distinct, well-supported lineage within and can be clearly distinguished from other genera both by DNA sequence analysis and morphological traits. The holotype of is URM 95352. The ex-type strain has been deposited in the Micoteca URM culture collection as URM 8721 and URM 8722. The MycoBank accession number is MB 849456 for the genus and MB 849456 for the species.
