Pathogenic on host. Sexual morph: Unknown. Asexual morph: Immersed mycelium sparse, composed of pale brown septate hyphae. Fructifications acervular, formed in the epidermis and hypodermis, erumpent with the basal wall formed of pale brown, smooth-walled pseudoparenchymatic cells. Conidia (holothallospores) catenate, basipetal, I-septate, pale brown, verruculose, both ends truncate except for the terminal conidium which is obtuse at the apex, formed in a mucilaginous sheath.

 

Type species: Staninwardia breviuscula B. Sutton

 

Notes: Staninwardia was introduced by Sutton (1971) with S. breviuscula as type species. Staninwardia is characterized by acervuli on brown leaf spots, with brown, catenulate conidia shielded in a mucilaginous sheath. The second species S. suttonii was introduced by Summerell et al. (2006). Staninwardia is a distinct genus in Extremaceae.
