Notes: Several species of the genus Calycellina were reported with chalara-like anamorphs, such as Calycellina aspera (= C. carolinensis), C. betulina, C. chalarae and C. ochracea. Among these species, Calycellina aspera is the only species with septate conidia and phylogenetically placed into Nagrajchalara. The phylogenetic relationships of other species with aseptate conidia remains to be studied.
