Notes – The monotypic genus Anthocanalis was introduced to accommodate an anthostomella-like species characterized by ascomata with a reduced clypeus, shiny papilla, a peridium with hyaline cells of textura angularis, light brown cells of textura irregularis and limoniform ascospores with a prominent sheath only at the ventral side. Combined ITS, LSU, tub2 and rpb2 phylogenetic analyses suggested that the genus is closely related to Rhopalostroma, Ruwenzoria and Thamnomyces in Hypoxylaceae (Daranagama et al. 2018, Wendt et al. 2018). However, the available LSU, ITS, rpb2 and tub2 DNA sequences of A. sparti as well as the reported conidiogeneous structures are similar to Daldinia eschscholtzii, which needs further clarification. 

Type species: Anthocanalis spartii Daranag., Camporesi & K.D. Hyde [as ‘sparti’], in Daranagama, Camporesi, Tian, Liu, Chamyuang, Stadler & Hyde, Fungal Diversity 73: 211 (2015).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Anthocanalis.
