 Description: Colonies effuse, tufted, brown to dark brown. Mycelium immersed. Conidiophores macronematous, mononematous, conspicuously caespitose, compactly branched, straight or flexuous, septae, smooth, smooth, thick-walled at the base, brown, paler to the apex, 57.6-88.0 × 2.8-5.6 μm, with pervurrent proliferations. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic, percurrent, integrated, terminal, cylindrical or clavate, 6.2-16.8 × 2.6-4.4 μm. Conidia solitary, acrogenous, obovoid, ellipsoidal or pyriform, usually 1-septate, smooth, palebrown at the basal cell, brown at the apical cell, 9.2-13.3 × 5.6-7.8 μm, rarely 0-septate, smooth, pale brown or brown, 8.0-11.2 × 5.4-7.2 μm, often with frill below the base of the conidium, 0.8-1.2 × 1.0-1.2 μm.

 Note: The new species is the most closely related to E. resinaeP.K. Kirk (1981), E. uniseptata( Ellis) Hughes (1979) (as E. uniseptatavar. uniseptata(Ellis) Hughes by Hol.-Jech. (1986)) and E. uniseptata(Ellis) Hughes var. pusillaHol.-Jech. (1986), which have similarly shaped and pigmentary conidia. The former can be distinguished easily from the latter three species aggregate because its conidia are 0-1-septate, smaller and less than wide and dark brown septum. In addition, the percurrent conidiophores are strongly compact-branched and shorter than those in E. resinae, E. uniseptataand E. uniseptatavar. pusilla, which are single, crowed or in groups 2-3 with more larger conidia (Ellis 1959; Holubov?-Jechov? 1986; Kirk 1981). The closest species is E. cambransisM.B. Ellis (1976), which usually produces loosely branched conidiophores with 0-2 pecurrentproliferations and obovoid or clavate, dark brown conidia with 1-septate, and all these characteristics distinguish it from E. compactramosa.
