Type speciesXenodactylaria thailandica Crous

NotesDactylaria (de Hoog 1985) is heterogeneous genera (Crous et al. 2016a, 2017a) with the type species, D. purpurella, clustering in Magnaporthales (Klaubauf et al. 2014) and has similarities with Dactylaria and Cylindrosympodium. Xenodactylaria is distinct from Dactylaria and Cylindrosympodium in having hyaline hyphae, conidiophores, conidiogenous cells and hyaline conidia with occur in short chains. Xenodactylaria phylogenetically clusters on its own. In this study, X. thailandica is illustrated.
