Type species – Syncarpella tumefaciens (Ellis & Harkn.) Theiss. & Syd., Annls mycol. 13(5/6): 633 (1915).

≡ Sphaeria tumefaciens Ellis & Harkn., in Ellis & Everhart, J. Mycol. 2(4): 41 (1886)

Notes – Theissen & Sydow (1915) introduced Syncarpella in Montagnellaceae with S. tumefaciens as the type of the genus. Barr & Boise (1989) transferred Syncarpella to Cucurbitariaceae based on ascomata characteristics. There are no DNA data available for this genus for molecular analyses. See Zhang et al. (2012b) and Doilom et al. (2013) for more details.
