Notes – Hypocreodendron is a monotypic genus introduced by Hennings (1897) which is characterized by more or less cylindrical, stromata with an apical discoid or shallow cup bearing conidia. The species is associated with ant nests. Based on sexual asexual morph connections, Hypocreodendron was validated over Discoxylaria (Stadler et al. 2013, Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015b, Réblová et al. 2016b).

 

Type species: Hypocreodendron sanguineum Henn.
