Neomassaria Mapook, Camporesi & K.D. Hyde, in Hyde et al., Fungal Diversity 80: 74 (2016).
Index Fungorum number: IF 552273; Facesoffungi number: FoF 02437, 2 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 2 species with molecular data.
Saprobic on dead branches. Sexual morph: Ascomata immersed, solitary or scattered, coriaceous, globose to subglobose, brown to dark brown. Ostiole central. Peridium comprising light brown cells of textura angularis. Hamathecium comprising cylindrical to filiform, septate, branched, pseudoparaphyses. Asci 8-spored, bitunicate, oblong to cylindrical, short pedicellate, with wide ocular chamber. Ascospores overlapping 1–2-seriate, hyaline, ellipsoid to broadly fusiform, uniseptate, constricted at the septa, surrounded by gelatinous sheath. Asexual morph: Unknown (adapted from Hyde et al. 2016).
Type species: Neomassaria fabacearum Mapook, Camporesi & K.D. Hyde
Notes: Neomassaria is distinct in morphology of ascomata, asci and ascospores and phylogenetically forms a well-supported genus in Massariaceae. Molecular markers available for Neomassaria include ITS, LSU, SSU, RPB2 and TEF-1.
