SUMMARYAn isolate labelled K3-17 presenting the general features of Embellisia (Hyphomycetes, Dematiaceae) was obtained in 1972 from littoral sea water in Kotor Bay, South Adriatic. As in other species of Embellisia, K3-17 showed a marked tendency to form chlamydospores but it differed from them in the form of its conidia. In the fungus from the Adriatic 78–80% of the conidia were ovoid didymospores, 11.0 × 9.0 μm, the nutrient media and the age of the cultures not contributing to any significant variation. Because of this feature the name Embellisia didymospora is proposed for the new taxon. The optimal temperature for growth was about 26 C.
