Abstract : A new species of Chaetospermum, Ch. setosum, is described based on the presence of conidiomatal setae and differences in conidial size and shape. This species occurs on Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae) collected from Bhima Shankar forests in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India. The presence of conidiomatal setae is a unique character that differentiates this species from related taxa.
