Type species – Seimatosporium rosae Corda

Notes – Seimatosporium species are widely distributed, occurring as saprobes or pathogens (Norphanphoun et al. 2015, Maharachchikumbura et al. 2016b, Wijayawardene et al. 2017a, Wanasinghe et al. 2018). It was introduced by Corda (1833). Phylogenetically, they have been linked to Discostroma sexual morphs (Tanaka et al. 2011). However, there are no sequence data for the type species, this requires further study.
