Type species – Calyptronectria platensis Speg., Anal. Mus. nac. B. Aires, Ser. 3 12: 412 (1909).

Notes – Calyptronectria is characterized by immersed ascomata, filiform, trabeculate pseudoparaphyses, and hyaline, muriform ascospores, as well as a peridium that turns reddish brown in KOH (Spegazzini 1909, Barr 1983, Rossman et al. 1999). Calyptronectria is a poorly known genus with no published DNA data. Due to the distinguished character of trabeculate pseudoparaphyses, Tian et al. (2015) retained Calyptronectria in Melanommataceae.
