Type species – Salsuginea ramicola K.D. Hyde.
Notes – Salsuginea typified by Salsuginea ramicola, was collected from submerged wood in mangroves. Salsuginea is similar to Helicascus but differs in having ascospores with apical germ pores/extensions and peridium of textura porrecta cells (Hyde 1991). Dayarathne et al. (2020) added another species, S. rhizophorae.
