The anamorph of <i>C. brevipes</i> is characterized by the reduced conidiophores, consisting of one basal stalk cell and a terminal phialidic conidiogenous cell, clearly differentiated ellipsoidal venter and cylindrical collarette with a darker lower part, and aseptate, cylindrical conidia (Nag Raj and Kendrick 1975). However, in our collections, no asexual morphs were observed. Despite this, the identification of our collections as the sexual morph of <i>C. brevipes</i> is supported by molecular data. The ITS and LSU sequence data of our specimens (HKAS ly 423 and HKAS ly 456) exhibit 1.1 % and 0.8 % divergence, respectively, from the known <i>C. brevipes</i> strains 8280 and 8302. Given that these levels of genetic variation fall within intraspecific divergence thresholds and that all available strains of <i>C. brevipes</i> have only been known in their asexual state, we infer that our collections represent the previously unknown sexual morph of this species. Therefore, the current study presents the first report of the sexual morph of <i>C. brevipes</i>, marking its first record from Yunnan Province, China.</p>
