Ecology: Biotroph; phytopathogenic; growing on leaves, amphigenous. Host or Phorophyte Taxonomy: Euonymus sieboldianus Blume; Euonymus, Celastraceae.

Reproduction Strategy: With sexual (and possible asexual) stages. Ascocarps: Cleistothecioid, orbicular (depressed globose), forming independently from the host thallus or mycelium, scattered or gregarious, .06-.095-(.1) mm in diam.. Margin: External filaments present (ca. 300-900(-1300) µm long); recurved, 3.5-12 µm long, 4.5-7 µm in diameter, hyaline, few or numerous, 6-16 per mm², flexuose (often irregular) or geniculate (bent), not ramified or ramified, dichotomously branched (0-3(-5) times, tips of the ultimate branchlets recurved, primary branches mostly elongated, horizontally spread or even recurved), aseptate.

Asci: (2)-3-4-(5) asci per ascocarp, broadly clavate or clavate, not stipitate (subsessile) or indistinctly stipitate, 40-50 µm long, 25-40 µm wide; dehiscence unitunicate.

Ascospores: c. 8 per ascus, spores (6)-8 per ascus, ellipsoid, ovoid, or sub-cylindrical, 13-18 µm long, 6-8-(9) µm wide; septa absent; wall pale brown (yellowish).

Conidiophores: Pseudoidium-type; not branched; conidiophore cells 60-100 µm long, basal cells 6-10 µm wide. Conidium Formation: Conidiogenous cells single. Conidia: Ellipsoid; macroconidial, not branched, 37-50 µm long, 15-22 µm wide; aseptate.
