A new Drechslerella species isolated from Orbilia cf. orientalis

A new species of the nematode-trapping anamorphic genus Drechslerella, D. yunnanensis, was isolated from an unidentified Orbilia species. Drechslerella yunnanensis is characterized by unbranched or occasionally branched conidiophores with conspicuous denticles at the tip and non- to one-septate ellipsoidal conidia. In the presence of nematodes it forms constricting rings.
