Notes – Cataractispora was introduced by Hyde et al. (1999a) to accommodate four freshwater species, C. appendiculata (Brunei), C. aquatica (Brunei), C. bipolaris (Queensland) and C. viscosa (Hong Kong), based on their unique appendage ontogeny. Ho et al. (2004) introduced a fifth freshwater species, C. receptaculorum, from Hong Kong. The LSU sequence data of C. receptaculorum is identical to an invalid species C. recepticuli, which was accommodated in Pseudoproboscisporaceae by Zhang et al. (2017a) and they stated that it appears to be an invalidly published synonym of Pseudoproboscispora based on morphology. The family placement of Cataractispora needs confirmation with sequence data from the type species.

Type species: Cataractispora aquatica K.D. Hyde, S.W. Wong & E.B.G. Jones, Mycol. Res. 103(8): 1020 (1999).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Cataractispora.
