Notes– Hemibeltraniawas established by Pirozynski (1963) to accommodate H.cinnamomiand H.nectandrae. The genus is characterised by unbranched or sparingly branched conidiophores arising from radially lobed basal cells, sympodial and denticulate conidiogenous cells, and broadly ellipsoidal, limoniform, ovoid, obovoid, cymbiform, navicular, biconic or fusiform, pale olivaceous, aseptate conidia without a hyaline transverse band (Seifert et al. 2011). In addition, Hemibeltrania lacks a separating cell. A synopsis of accepted Hemibeltraniaspecies was provided by Rajeshkumar et al. (2016b). Lin et al. (2017b) provided sequence data for H.cinnamomi, which was collected from Thailand.

Type species: Hemibeltrania cinnamomi (Deighton) Piroz., Mycol. Pap. 90: 32 (1963).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Hemibeltrania.
