Notes – Halocryptovalsa was established by Dayarathne et al. (2019b) to accommodate species resembling Cryptovalsa from marine environments namely Cryptovalsa avicenniae and a new species Halocryptovalsa salicorniae. The genus is characterised by poorly developed stromata and poly-spored asci, with a J-, cylindrical, conspicuous apical or subapical ring. Ascospores are hyaline or yellow-brown to brown, allantoid, with small, fat globules at the end (Dayarathne et al. 2019b).
