Type species: Bambusaria bambusae (J.N. Kapoor & H.S. Gill) Jaklitsch, D.Q. Dai, K.D. Hyde & Voglmayr, in Jaklitsch et al., Fungal Diversity 73: 196 (2015).

Valsaria bambusae J.N. Kapoor & H.S. Gill, Indian Phytopath. 14(2): 152 (1962) [1961].

Notes: Based on a multi-locus phylogeny and morphological features, Jaklitsch et al. (2015) established a new genus Bambusaria with a single species B. bambusae (synonym: Valsaria bambusae) as the type species, which is hostspecific for Bambusoideae. The genus is characterized by eustromatic stromata, ascomata immersed in a stromata in valsoid configuration, bitunicate asci without obvious fissitunicate dehiscence, ellipsoid to broadly fusiform or biconoid, brown, 1-septate ascospores with longitudinally ribbed and produces asexual morph in culture.
