Etymology – Composed of “para” (similar to) + the genus name Mycocentrospora.
Plant pathogenic, foliicolous. Mycelium immersed. Stromata not developed. Caespituli amphigenous. Conidiophores solitary, emerging through stomata, or erumpent through the cuticle away from the stomata, rarely arising from secondary external hypha; conidiophores simple, hyaline, smooth, continuous to septate, straight, subcylindrical, flexuous, geniculate-sinuous, often with characteristic zigzag configuration at the top. Conidiogenous cells terminal, hyaline, smooth, often polyblastic, sympodial; conidiogenous loci (scars) fairly conspicuous, broad, flat or slightly convex, unthickened or slightly thickened throughout, but hyaline. Conidia solitary, hyaline, smooth, euseptate, pluriseptate, scolecosporous, rostrate, obclavate-acicular, often curved, abruptly attenuated towards the apex, the broader cells sometimes with constrictions at the septa, apex more or less pointed, base broad truncated to short obconically truncated, hila conspicuous, thickened, somewhat darkened and refractive, with a conspicuous raised rim. Appendages not observed.
