Notes – Kohlmeyer & Volkmann-Kohlmeyer (1991) examined the holotype material of Caryospora mangrovei (IMI 327272) from Brunei and synonymized it under Coronopapilla avellina. Vu et al. (2019) provided sequence data for Coronopapilla mangrovei (and its higher order classification). The genus is distinguished from other genera in Zopfiaceae in having ascomata with a stroma or clypeus, 1–3-septate, distoseptate, smooth-walled ascospores, constricted at the central of septum.

 

Type species: Coronopapilla avellina Kohlm. & Volkm.-Kohlm., Mycol. Res. 94(5): 687 (1990).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Coronopapilla.
