Seychellomyces sinensis sp. nov. from China

An aquatic hyphomycete, Seychellomyces sinensis, isolated from China, is proposed as a new species. Phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, 60S, and MCM7 sequences place Seychellomyces in Ceratocystidaceae. The new species, characterized by septate conidia and elliptical to cylindrical (sub)hyaline endoconidia, is distinguished from S. hexagonus by its larger, 1-3-septate conidia.
