Two new species of xerophilic fungi are described: Geomyces pulvereus Hocking & Pitt, and Monascus eremophilus Hocking & Pitt. The Monascus species is an obligate xerophile, which does not appear to have an anamorphic state. A further occurrence of Eurotium halophilicum is reported, and a full description of this rarely encountered species is given.
