Importance and distribution

There are 39 Navicella epithets in Index Fungorum (2022), but several species have been transferred to Chaetomastia, Decaisnella, Helicogermslita, Lophiostoma, Lophodermium, Macrophoma, Melanomma, Platystomum, Sigarispora and Thyridaria. Navicella comprises only four species known on plant debris, bark of Castanopsis (Fagaceae), base of stem of Elaeocarpus (Elaeocarpaceae) and wood of Haloxylon ammodendron (Amaranthaceae). Navicella is distributed in Asia (China (Taiwan, Xinjiang)), Central America (Costa Rica) and Oceania (Papua New Guinea).
