Halocryptovalsa was introduced by Dayarathne et al. (2019c), which includes cryptovalsalike marine based diatrypaceous fungi with poorly developed stromata that lack horizontal or vertical furrows within the ascomatal necks (Dayarathne et al. 2019c). Two species are recognized: Halocryptovalsa avicenniae and Halocryptovalsa salicorniae under this genus. ITS and BTUB sequence data has been generated for Halocryptovalsa avicenniae for the first time in this study. Our phylogenetic analyses with combined ITS and BTUB confirmed the previous inclusion of Halocryptovalsa avicenniae based only on LSU and SSU data within the genus Halocryptovalsa (Dayarathne et al. 2019c).
Type species: Halocryptovalsa avicenniae (Abdel-Wahab, Bahkali & E.B.G. Jones) Dayar. & K.D. Hyde, Index Fungorum 442: 1 (2020).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Halocryptovalsa.
