Stagonospora is typified by S. paludosa (Sacc. & Speg.) Sacc., a species isolated from Carex pseudocyparus. Quaedvlieg et al. (2013) re-evaluated septoria-like genera and introduced Stagonospora sensu stricto in Massarinaceae due to pycnidial, immersed, globose, ostiolate conidiomata, conidiophores reduced to holoblastic conidiogenous cells with percurrent proliferations, and doliiform, cylindrical to ellipsoid, hyaline, guttulate conidia. Tanaka et al. (2015) revised Massarinaceae and accepted 12 species in Stagonospora based on both morphology and phylogeny data.
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Stagonospora.
