Huhndorf et al. (2001) introduced the genus Rimaconus to accommodate Rimaconus jamaicensis. Characteristics unique to this genus are immersed to erumpent, conical to hemispherical to applanate ascomata, unitunicate asci with a J-, apical ring, paraphyses with gelatinous coating and cylindrical, multiseptate ascospores (Huhndorf et al. 2001). There are two species R. coronatus and R. jamaicensis listed under this genus (Index Fungorum 2019) and we introduce a third species to this genus from a marine environment.
Type species: Rimaconus jamaicensis (Seaver) Huhndorf, F.A. Fernández, Joanne E. Taylor & K.D. Hyde, Mycologia 93(6): 1075 (2001).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Rimaconus.
