Taxonomic Literature: Taxonomic notes: This variety differs from var. necator by ascomata characters, see below.+conidiophores foot-cells characteristically twisted, flexuous, length variable, followed by 1-3 shorter cells, sometimes a long and 1-2 short cells;+appressoria lobed;+ascocarp outer wall cells polygonal to rounded, ca. 10-25 µm diam.;. Braun U., Beih. Nova Hedwigia 89: 1-700 [465-467] (1987).

Biogeography: Northern hemispheric. Continent: Northern America (USA, Canada).

Checklist records: United States and Canada (continental).

Ecology: Biotroph; phytopathogenic; growing on leaves or fruits, amphigenous. Host or Phorophyte Taxonomy: Parthenocissus quinquefolia (L.) Planch.; Parthenocissus, Vitaceae.

Reproduction Strategy: With sexual (and possible asexual) stages. Ascocarps: Cleistothecioid, orbicular, forming independently from the host thallus or mycelium, scattered or in loose groups, .08-.13 mm in diam.. Margin: External filaments present (width subequal throughout or somewhat increasing upwards); uncinate (loosely or closely), circinate, or sub-helicoid, .75-2.5 µm long, 5-13 µm in diameter, hyaline or pigmented (in the lower half), numerous, (6)-10-30-(35) per mm², growing between the lower and upper hald of the ascocarp, stiff and straight, not ramified, septate (mostly 2-5 septa).

Asci: 4-8-(10) asci per ascocarp, not stipitate or indistinctly stipitate, 40-75 µm long, 25-45 µm wide; dehiscence unitunicate.

Ascospores: c. 4 or c. 8 per ascus, spores 4-6 per ascus, ellipsoid or ovoid, 15-24 µm long, 9-15 µm wide; septa absent.

Conidiophores: Pseudoidium-type; not branched; basal cells 25-160 µm long, 5-9 µm wide. Conidium Formation: Conidiogenous cells single. Conidia: Ellipsoid, ovoid, or doliiform; macroconidial, not branched, 22.5-48 µm long, 12-22 µm wide; aseptate.
