Dyfrolomyces was established by Pang et al. (2013) with species characterized by a clypeus on the substrate, immersed ascomata and multi-septate ascospores with/without a sheath in bitunicate/fissitunicate asci, to accommodate D. tiomanensis. Nine species are recognized within this genus, which have mostly been collected from marine habitats on mangrove wood (Hyde 1992b, Pang et al. 2013, Hyde et al. 2017, Norphanphoun et al. 2017, Zhang et al. 2017, Wijayawardene et al. 2017a, Hyde et al. 2018).

Type species: Dyfrolomyces tiomanensis K.L. Pang, Alias, K.D. Hyde, Suetrong & E.B.G. Jones, in Pang, Hyde, Alias, Suetrong, Guo & Jones, Cryptog. Mycol. 34(3): 228 (2013).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Dyfrolomyces.
