A new anamorphic genus and species Similitrichoconis wongii are described and illustrated. The fungus, found on submerged decaying leaf of an unidentified plant in Ecuador, is characterized by blastic production of obclavate to long fusiform, hyaline phragmoconidia that are rostrate above, uncinate below, and produced by schizolytic conidial secession of clear to translucent conidiogenous cells.
