MycoBank number: MB 7034; Index Fungorum number: IF 7034; Facesoffungi number: FoF 06601; 25 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), 10 species with sequence data (Luo et al. 2019).
Type species – Acrodictys bambusicola M.B. Ellis
Notes – Ellis (1961) introduced Acrodictys, typified by A. bambusicola. Baker et al. (2002) reviewed the status of Acrodictys and refined the generic concept in a stricter sense. Based on the narrower concept, some species were excluded from Acrodictys and transferred to new genera, for example, Junewangia, Rhexoacrodictys, Pseudoacrodictys and Ramoacrodictys (Baker et al. 2002, Baker & Morgan-Jones 2003, Zhao et al. 2009). Seifert et al. (2011) provided a taxonomic key to Acrodictys and similar genera. The sexual morph of A. aquatica is illustrated in this entry (Fig. 25).
