Notes – The sexual morph, monotypic genus Delonicicola was established based on Delonicicola siamense, which was isolated from Delonix regia seed pods in Thailand (Perera et al. 2017). Delonicicola species are saprobes, characterized by pseudostromatal immersed, papillate ascomata, short pedicellate asci and 1-septate, hyaline ascospores (Perera et al. 2017). Delonicicola siamense is illustrated in this entry.
Type species: Delonicicola siamensis R.H. Perera, Maharachch. & K.D. Hyde [as ‘siamense’], in Perera, Maharachchikumbura, Jones, Bahkali, Elgorban, Liu, Liu & Hyde, Cryptog. Mycol. 38(3): 335 (2017).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Delonicicola.
