Notes: Kirk (1984) proposed the new combination, Wiesneriomyces laurinus, based on the holotype of Volutellaria laurina and showed that it was an earlier name for Wiesneriomyces javanicus. No sexual morph has been reported for this genus (Suetrong et al. 2014; Bezerra et al. 2017; Lu et al. 2018b).
