Notes – Anthostomella is characterized by immersed, dark, clypeate ascomata with periphysate ostiolar canals, 8-spored, cylindrical, unitunicate asci and mostly dark, unicellular ascospores, sometimes with dwarf cells or appendages at the ends (Daranagama et al. 2015). Daranagama et al. (2015, 2016) described the polyphyletic nature of the genus and emphasized the need for recollection and providing molecular data. Voglmayr et al. (2018) re-evaluated the genus with suggestions to provide a new family for Anthostomella with the availability of sequence data of the type species. In this study, Anthostomella does not appear to be phylogenetically related to Xylariaceae. Daranagama et al. (2018) re-examined several herbarium specimens and tentatively synonymized Appendixia with Anthostomella based on morphological similarities.

 

Type species: Anthostomella tomicoides tomicoides Sacc., Atti Soc. Veneto-Trent. Sci. Nat., Padova, Sér. 4 4: [101] (1875).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Anthostomella.
