Lepteutypa Petr., Ann. Mycol. 21(3/4): 276. (1923)

MycoBank number: MB 2758; Index Fungorum number: IF 2758; Facesoffungi number: FoF 12989; 15 morphological species (Jaklitsch et al. 2016b, Species Fungorum 2020), 5 species with sequence data.

Type species – Lepteutypa fuckelii (G.H. Otth) Petr.

Notes – Lepteutypa species are saprobes with a worldwide distribution (Wijayawardene et al. 2017a). Jaklitsch et al. (2016b) revisited the genus, designated the neotype for L. fuckelii, and introduced a new species, L. sambuci. Luo et al. (2019) introduced L. aquatica on decaying wood submerged in freshwater habitats. Some of the sequences in GenBank are similar to species of those members of Sporocadaceae and need further studies with molecular data.
