Lepteutypa. Petr.

Citation when using this data: Hyde KD et al. 2020 (in prep.) – Fungalpedia, Ascomycota.

Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank

Classification: Amphisphaeriaceae, Amphisphaeriales, Xylariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi 

Notes – Lepteutypa species are saprobes with a worldwide distribution (Wijayawardene et al. 2017a). Jaklitsch et al. (2016b) revisited the genus, designated the neotype for L. fuckelii, and introduced a new species, L. sambuci. Luo et al. (2019) introduced L. aquatica on decaying wood submerged in freshwater habitats. Some of the sequences in GenBank are similar to species of those members of Sporocadaceae and need further studies with molecular data.

Type species: Lepteutypa fuckelii Petr., Annls mycol. 21(3/4): 276 (1923).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Lepteutypa.
