NotesXenoroussoella was introduced by Mapook et al. (2020) to accommodate a saprobic species which was collected from Chromolaena odorata in Thailand. The genus is characterized by immersed, solitary, globose to subglobose ascomata, with protruding ostiolar neck, cylindric- clavate to clavate asci, and brown to dark brown, ellipsoid to obovoid, 3-septate ascospores (Mapook et al. 2020). The asexual morph of Xenoroussoella is unkown. The species can be distinguished from other genera of Roussoellaceae in having ellipsoid to obovoid, 3-septate ascospores (Mapook et al. 2020). Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses showed that the genus is closely related to Arthopyrenia sp. strain UTHSC: DI16-334 in Roussoellaceae (Mapook et al. 2020).
