Type species – Sphaerodothis arengae (Racib.) Shear

Notes – Sphaerodothis was introduced by Saccardo & Sydow (1902) for a subgenus of Auerswaldia to include the single species Sphaerodothis arengae. The prominent character used in separating this subgenus from Auerswaldia was the shape of the spores which are sphaerical or subsphaerical (Shear 1909).
