Index Fungorum number:IF 805816;Facesoffungi number:FoF 01417,5morphological species (Species Fungorum 2021),5 species with molecular data.
Saprobic on host.Sexual morph: Unknown.Asexual morph:Conidiomata immersed, globose with central ostiole, dark brown.Conidiomatal wallcomprising several layers of brown cells oftextura angularis.Paraphysesintermingled among conidiophores, lining the inner cavity, hyaline, smooth, sub cylindrical, branched at base or not, aseptate or transversely septate, with obtuse to subobtuse apices.Conidiophores hyaline, smooth, subcylindrical, flexuous or straight, septate.Macroconidiogenouscells terminal, integrated, hyaline, smooth, subcylindrical to lageniform, proliferating percurrently near apex.Macroconidia solitary, hyaline when young, becoming golden-brown to medium brown, verruculose, granular to guttulate, surrounded by a persistent, hyaline outer layer (lacking in some species, or condensed to a basal frill or basal and apical appendage), ellipsoid to obclavate or subcylindrical with truncate scar on hyaline layer.Microconidiogenous cells in the same conidioma, hyaline, smooth, subcylindrical, proliferating inconspicuous percurrently at apex.Microconidia hyaline, smooth, granular, sub cylindrical to ellipsoid, apex obtuse, base truncate, with minute marginal frill (adapted from Crous et al. 2013).
Type species:Alanphillipsia aloesCrous & M.J. Wingf.
Notes:Alanphillipsia resemblesAplosporellain having verruculose conidia and presence of paraphyses but is unique in having hyaline outer layer. Alanphillipsia is a well-supported and distinct genus inBotryosphaeriaceae. Molecular markers available forAlanphillipsiaare ITS, LSU, SSU, RPB2 and TEF-1.
