摘要：A new genus and species, Tamhinispora indica , was collected on decaying Bambusa bambos culms from Tamhini Ghats, northern Western Ghats of Maharashtra. Morphologically, this new genus can be easily differentiated from similar genera like Ernakulamia , Pseudoacrodictys , Petrakia , Biconiosporium , Pseudopetrakia and Manoharachariella by having dark blackish brown, mostly ovoid or irregular, dictyoseptate conidia with apical appendages diverging or radiating from the conidial tip and intercalary, almost sessile conidiogenous cells in hyphae. Phylogenetic analysis using ITS and LSU sequences establish the placement of Tamhinispora in the family Tubeufiaceae ; allied to dictyochlamydospore-forming or dark brown conidia-forming genera like Chlamydotubeufia and Helicoon
