Helicotubeufia was introduced by Liu et al. (2018a) to accommodate two freshwater species H. guangxiensis and H. jonesii Y.Z. Lu & J.K. Liu, and one terrestrial species H. hydei Y.Z. Lu & J.K. Liu. Helicotubeufia has dark brown to black ascomata seated on a subiculum, cylindrical asci, fusiform, multiseptate ascospores and helicosporous asexual morphs (Liu et al. 2018a). Both sexual and asexual morphs of H. guangxiensis were found on submerged wood in nature. The asexual morph of H. jonesii is unknown.
Type species: Helicotubeufia guangxiensis Y.Z. Lu & J.K. Liu
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Helicotubeufia.
