Abstract
A new species, Apiosordaria nigeriensis, isolated from soil of Nigeria is described and illustrated. This fungus is characterized by its two-celled ascospores with spinulose walls and an apical germ pore surrounded by a dark area. Reexamination of Apiosordaria angulispora resulted in a new combination, Cercophora angulispora, based on the presence of cephalothecoid peridium, cylindrical asci with thickened apical ring and curved to sigmoid ascospores with long apical and caudal appendages. A key to the soil-borne species of Apiosordaria is provided.
