Utrechtiana arundinacea (Corda) Crous, Quaedvl. & Y. Marín, Stud. Mycol. 92: 124. 2018.

On natural substrate, conidiophores dimorphic. Macroconidiophores solitary to fasciculate, erect, straight or curved, unbranched, subcylindrical, 1-septate, medium brown, 30–50 × 9–12 μm. Macroconidiogenous cells integrated, terminal, subcylindrical, brown, smooth, 20–35 × 7–9 μm. Macroconidia solitary, obpyriform, (1–)2-septate, light brown, finely roughened, (22–)37–42(–45) × (17–)19–20(–21) μm, with a distinct dark brown hilum, 3–4 μm diam. In culture, macroconidiophores up to 6-septate, 100 μm long. Macroconidia slender, pyriform, medium brown, verrucose, 23–50 × 11–15 μm. Microconidiophores branched, subcylindrical, 3–6-septate, light brown, smooth, 15–40 × 3–6 μm. Microconidiogenous cells phialidic, terminal, lateral, fusoid-ellipsoid to ampulliform, light brown, smooth to finely roughened, 5–14 × 3–4 μm. Microconidia subcylindrical, straight to curved, aseptate, hyaline, smooth, 7–10 × 1.5–2 μm. Sexual state unknown.
