Notes – Diatrypella was established to accommodate members of stromatic Sphaeriales which were characterized by ovoid and numerous ascospores. The genus is characterised by conical to truncate, cushion-like or discoid stromata, usually delimited by a black zone in the host tissues, with umbilicate or sulcate ostioles. Asci are cylindrical, polysporous, with long stalks. Ascospores are allantoid, hyaline or yellowish.
