Conidiogenous cells hyaline, subcylindrical with collarette present and not flared and prominent periclinal thickening. It has only alpha conidia hyaline, oblong to ellipsoid with apex bluntly rounded and base obtuse (Gomes et al., 2013).
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
It is a rare species, with only two occurrences in the world. More studies need to be done to learn more about its ecology and distribution, so I suggest including it in Deficient Data.

According to GBIF it has only two occurrence in Brazil.
Population and Trends
The species is not common in the world, presenting only two occurrences in Brazil.
Population Trend:

Conservation Actions
In Brazil, half of the records are in an environmental protection area.
Research needed
Other areas should be studied in order to assess the distribution of this species.
