 Notes – Dictyochaeta was erected by Spegazzini (1923) based on Dictyochaeta fuegiana. Species of this genus are saprobes on decaying plant parts (Whitton et al. 2000, Réblová & Winka 2000, Kuthubutheen & Nawawi 1991). For more details, see note under Codinaea. Dictyochaeta is characterised by macronematous, mononematous, pale brown to dark brown conidiophores, mono- or polyphialidic, sympodially proliferating conidiogenous cells with flared collarettes and hyaline, clavate conidia without setulae (Réblová & Winka 2000).

Type species: Dictyochaeta fuegiana Speg., Physis, Rev. Soc. Arg. Cienc. Nat. 7: 18 (1923).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Dictyochaeta.
