Notes – Parapyrenis was described to accommodate P. aurora, P. conica, P. elongata and P. guayaci that are treated as non-lichenized, and are associated with plant bark, having cellular paraphyses and ascospores with a thickened internal wall layer (Aptroot 1991), Aptroot (1995) introduced P. maclurae, P. maritima and P. tecomatis and provided a key to Parapyrenis species. A lichenized fungus P. lichenicola was also assigned to this non-lichenized genus by Aptroot et al. (1997). Hawksworth & Halici (2007) reviewed this genus and provided a brief description for Parapyrenis without illustrations. Vu et al. (2019) added LSU and ITS sequences to P. conica and P. maritima.

 

Type species: Parapyrenis aurora (Zahlbr.) Aptroot.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Parapyrenis.
