Type species – Euepixylon udum (Pers.) Læssøe & Spooner

Notes – The genus is characterized by semi-immersed, multiascomatal, linear stomata with conspicuous ascomatal mounds, forming a clypeoid carbonaceous layer and cylindrical, unitunicate asci with short-pedicel. Daranagama et al. (2018) and Wendt et al. (2018) accepted the genus in Xylariaceae. However, sequence data of the type species are needed to investigate its potential synonymy with Nemania.
