Classification: Diatrypaceae, Xylariales, Xylariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi

Notes – The holomorphs of A. decipiens were studied by Rappaz (1992, 1993) and concluded the genus belongs in Diatrypaceae. Phylogenetic analyses of sequence data suppoted these results (Rocchi et al. 2010, Jaklitsch et al. 2014). The genus is characterised by dark brown to dark, globose to subglobose ascomata, immersed in a stroma, with cylindrical, prominent ostioles, cylindrical to clavate asci, with apically rounded to truncate apices, with a short pedicel and brown to black brown ascospores (Nitschke 1867). 

Type species: Anthostoma decipiens (DC.) Nitschke 1867 (Designated by Clements & Shear, Gen. fung., Edn 2 (Minneapolis): 261. 1931)..

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Anthostoma.
