Saprobicon plant tissues. Sexual morph: Ascomatapale yellow, solitary to aggregated on OA and PDA, globose to somewhat papillate, with central ostiole; wall of 3–4 layers of subhyaline cells of textura angularis tointricata. Paraphysesseptate, cellular, anastomosing, distributed among asci. Asci8-spored, unitunicate, subcylindrical, sessile. Ascosporestri-to multi-seriate, hyaline, obovoid, granular, smooth, aseptate with dissolving mucoid sheath. Asexual morph: Hyphomycetous. Myceliumimmersed to superficial, composed of subhyaline to brown, thin-walled hyphae. Stromatausually present, parenchymatous to pseudoparenchymatous, hyaline to brown, often confined to epidermal cells. Setaepresent or absent, straight, thick-walled, dark brown, smooth or verrucose, with radially lobed basal cell, tapering to acute apex. Conidiophoressimple or sometimes branched, erect, septate, pale brown, arising from the base of setae or separate, with or without radially lobed basal cell. Conidiogenous cellsholoblastic, polyblastic, pale brown, integrated, denticulate.Conidiabiconic, lageniform to navicular, subhyaline to red-brown, with transverse band of pale pigment at widest part of the conidium, base rounded, 1-denticulate or rostrate, apex spicate, apiculate or truncate (adapted from Crous et al. (2015a)and Maharachchikumbura et al. (2016b)).

Notes – Beltrania, Beltraniella, Beltraniopsis, Hemibeltrania, Parapleurotheciopsis, Porobeltraniella,Pseudobeltrania, Pseudosubramaniomycesand Subsessila, are accepted in the family (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015, 2016b, Hongsanan et al. 2017, Lin et al. 2017a). We introduce and illustrate a new species, Beltraniella ramosiphorabased on phylogenetic data.

Type genus: Beltrania Penz., Nuovo G. bot. ital. 14(2): 72 (1882).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Beltraniaceae.
