Abstract: Two isolates of Emericella with stellate-shaped ascospores were isolated during surveys of filamentous fungi of Citrus plantations in Assiut area, Egypt. The isolates were examined for its macroscopic and microscopic features and they were identified as Emericella stella-maris. This species is being recorded here for the first time in Egypt and propably the second record after Zalar et al. (2008). E. stella-mais is different from Emericella variecolor by its septate, long conidiophore and its inability to grow at 37⁰C. Key words: Emericella stella-maris, Citrus plantations, mycobiota, Egypt.
