The new genus Craspedodidymum Hol.-Jech. and new species C. elatum Hol.-Jech. are described from rotten basal parts of the petioles of Phoenix canariensis hort. ex Chabaud. The fungus has dichotomously branched conidiophores and dark, non-septate, ellipsoid phialospores borne singly in an open collarette at the branch tips. The fungus differs from all previously described genera of phialosporous Hyphomycetes by its conidial morphology and branching pattern.
