Abstract
A new species of Rhexoampullifera (Pezizomycotina inc. sed.) found on a rotten broadleaved trunk is described as R. moravica. The fungus forms chains of 0-6-septate dark brown conidia seceding rhexolytically, which are characteristic of the genus Rhexoampullifera.
It differs from the morphologically most similar R. fagi by narrower and longer conidia and absence of a single separating cell. The separation of conidia is unequal in R. moravica: one conidium remains with a rim only, whilst the adjacent one possesses a septum and a rim.
