Notes: Pem et al. (2019c) re-examined the type species Englerodothis kilimandscharica (S-F203689). They included Englerodothis in Coccideaceae based on its superficial, circular or discoid, multi-loculate ascomata, saccate-oblong to cylindric-cavate asci, and ellipsoidal-oblong to clavulate, 1-septate, light pigmented ascospores. Species of Englerodo- this are reported as parasitic or saprobic on living and dead leaves. Fresh collections and sequence data are required to indicate phylogenetic placement.
