Vacuiphoma Valenz. -Lopez, Cano, Crous, Guarro & Stchigel, in Valenz. -Lopez et al., Stud. Mycol. 90: 40 (2017).
Index Fungorum number: IF 821451; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08235, 2 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 2 species with molecular data.
Pathogenic on host. Sexual morph: Unknown. Asexual morph: Conidiomata pycnidial, pale brown to brown, solitary, setose, globose, ostiolate. Pycnidial wall of textura angularis. Conidiogenous cells phialidic, ampulliform or lageniform. Conidia aseptate, hyaline, smooth- and thin-walled, allantoid or ellipsoidal (adapted from Valenzuela-Lopez et al. 2018).
Type species: Vacuiphoma bulgarica (Aveskamp, Gruyter & Verkley) Valenz.-Lopez, J.F. Cano, Crous, Guarro & Stchigel
Notes: Vacuiphoma is characterised by pycnidial, brown to dark brown, solitary, glabrous, subglobose or obpyriform, non-papillate conidiomata, and a pycnidial wall of textura angularis. Vacuiphoma is unique and was named based on the existence of empty pycnidial structures. Vacuiphoma is phylogenetically a distinct genus in Didymellaceae. Molecular markers available for Vacuiphoma are ITS, LSU, BTUB and RPB2.
