ABSTRACT: A nematode-trapping fungus, Dactylellina daliensis, is illustrated and described as a new species. This fungus is primarily characterized by producing elongate fusoid conidia with 1-13 (mostly 6-8) septa on the denticles of conidiophore and capturing nematodes by means of stalked adhesive knobs and non-constricting rings.
