Classification: Fasciatisporaceae, Xylariales, Xylariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi
Notes: Fasciatispora was introduced by Hyde (1991) with F. nypae as the type species with clypeate ascomata; asci with J +/J-, wedge-shaped apical ring, and pale brown to brown, ellipsoidal, ovoid or rhomboid, aseptate ascospores with a central pallid band (Hyde et al. 2020a). Liu et al. (2015) proposed a reference specimen for F. nypae and accepted it in Xylariales based on molecular data. Thus, following several consecutive studies, 11 Fasciatispora species have been accepted, five with molecular data.
Type species: Fasciatispora nypae K.D. Hyde, Trans. Mycol. Soc. Japan 32(2): 267 (1991)
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Fasciatispora.
