Notes – This genus was introduced to accommodate five species. Zhang et al. (2017c) described a new cave-inhabiting species. No sexual morph has been identified (Kepler et al. 2014). The genus infects nematodes and rotifers and has been isolated from soil and plant roots and produces conidia on slender, awl-shaped phialides (Kepler et al. 2014).
