Abstract
During a survey of fungi associated with bark beetles in Germany, an undesc ribed species of Ophiostoma was isolated that differs from the other specie s of the genus by having pigmented, aseptate, convergent ostiolar hyphae, c ucullate, sheathed ascospores, and a Hyalorhinocladiella anamorph. The spec ies is described as Ophiostoma neglectam Kirschner & Oberwinkler. It is rar ely associated with primary bark beetles but often associated with secondar y bark beetles mainly infesting Norway spruce.
