Catenularia malabarica Subram. & Bhat, Kavaka 15(1-2): 49. (1989) [1987].

Habitat and geographical distribution.

Saprobe on decaying wood of Magnolia liliifera and an unknown host, known only in India and Thailand ( Subramanian and Bhat 1989; Kodsueb et al. 2008).

Notes.

For descriptions and illustrations, see Subramanian and Bhat (1989). Catenularia malabrica produces one of the tallest conidiophores in the genus, 320-620 × 6-11 μm arising singly or in tufts. It resembles C. novae-zelandiae in dark brown conidia with 4-5 corners, but conidia of C. malabrica are wider (18-21 μm) and the capitate hyphae are absent.
