Type species – Diatrypasimilis australiensis J.J. Zhou & Kohlm.

Notes – Diatrypasimilis was established by Chalkley et al. (2010) based on conventional taxonomic criteria and molecular phylogeny to accommodate a species from mangroves. However, it was shown to be an invalid name and was legitimated as a nomenclatural novelty in Suh (2016). The genus is characterised by carbonaceous, black stromata, 8-spored, cylindrical asci and ellipsoidal, dark brown ascospores with a germ slit.
