Type speciesHalodiatrype salinicola M.C. Dayarathne & K.D. Hyde

NotesHalodiatrype was established by Dayarathne et al. (2016b) to accommodate H. avicenniae and H. salinicola isolated from mangroves. The genus is characterised by 8-spored, cylindrical to clavate, pedicellate asci, with apically rounded or flattened, lacking an apical ring and deliquescing early. Ascospores are oblong to allantoid or sub-inequilateral, aseptate or septate, not constricted at the septa, light brown, with one to few small guttules and slightly curved. The asexual morphs are libertella-like (Dayarathne et al. 2016b, 2019b).
