Notes – This genus comprises saprobic, terrestrial taxa which have perithecial ascomata that are characterized by the formation of ostiolate perithecia immersed in host leaves in which a blackened clypeus typically occurs around the ostiole and beneath the perithecium opposite the ostiole (Hanlin et al. 1992). Their unitunicate asci comprise a J+, apical ring and contain hyaline, scolecosporous ascospores (Hanlin et al. 2002). Most species of Ophiodothella are leaf parasites.
Type species: Ophiodothella atromaculans (Henn.) Höhn.
