Notes: The genus Sporormurispora was erected by Wanasinghe et al. (2018) with
S. atraphaxidis as the type species. The latter was isolated from stems of Atraphaxis replicata Lam in Russia. The characters that define the genus are black, globose, uniloculate ascomata with an ostiole, a thick peridium, comprising 6–8 layers, filamentous, branched, septate, pseudoparaphyses, cylindrical asci and uniseriate, mostly ellipsoid, brown, muriform ascospores. We introduce a new species of Sporormurispora based on morphology and phylogeny.
Type species: Sporormurispora atraphaxis Wanas., Bulgakov, E.B.G. Jones & K.D. Hyde [as ‘atraphaxidis‘], in Wanasinghe et al., Fungal Diversity 89: 157 (2018).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Sporormurispora.
