ABSTRACT: A new genus of the dematiaceous hyphomycetes, Bharatheeya, is proposed for Spadicoides goanensis on the basis of its production of solitary, distoseptate conidia on no-cicatrized polytretic, verrucose conidiogenous cells and mononematous conidiophores. In addition, Bharatheeya mucoidea anam. sp. nov. isolated from decaying leaves of Calamus thwaitesii, is described from the forests of Western Ghats in Goa, India.
