Notes – Species of Eutypa are the causal agents of Eutypa dieback of grapevine, apricots and cherries (Trouillas & Gubler 2004, Baumgartner et al. 2010, Camps et al. 2010, Trouillas & Gubler 2010, Blanco-Ulate et al. 2013, Camps et al. 2014). The genus is characterised by stromata which are irregular in shape, as confluent bumps, with conspicuous, scattered, roundish to prominent ostioles on the host surface. Asci are 8-spored, clavate, apically rounded to truncate, with indistinct apical rings, and long pedicels. Ascospores are allantoid to ellipsoidal, aseptate and pale yellowish.

Type species: Eutypa lata (Pers.) Tul. & C. Tul., Select. fung. carpol. (Paris) 2: 56 (1863).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Eutypa.
