MycoBank number: MB 224; Index Fungorum number: IF 224; Facesoffungi number: FoF 13135; 36 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), 1 species with sequence data.

Type species – Anthostoma decipiens (DC.) Nitschke

Notes – The holomorphs of A. decipiens were studied by Rappaz (1992, 1993) and concluded the genus belongs in Diatrypaceae. Phylogenetic analyses of sequence data suppoted these results (Rocchi et al. 2010, Jaklitsch et al. 2014). The genus is characterised by dark brown to dark, globose to subglobose ascomata, immersed in a stroma, with cylindrical, prominent ostioles, cylindrical to clavate asci, with apically rounded to truncate apices, with a short pedicel and brown to black brown ascospores (Nitschke 1867).
