Abstract
Monodictys desquamata anam. sp. nov, is characterized by muriform conidia w ith conspicuous external cells protruding and detaching easily from the out er surface. The fungus was isolated from fallen bark of an unidentified tre e collected in a rain forest in Cuba. Although the fungus was recalcitrant for sporulating "in vitro", successful results were obtained using differen t techniques.
