Abstract

A number of ascomycetes formerly named inOdontotrema (Ostropales) and the illegitimateWinteria (Rehm) Sacc. are redisposed inXylopezia andMycowinteria (a new name forWinteria). New combinations are introduced forMycowinteria anodonta (=Winteria lichenoides),Xylopezia hemisphaerica (=Odontotrema hemisphaericum),Xylopezia excellens (=Winteria excellens), andXylopezia inclusa (=Odontotrema subintegrum).Xylopezia biseptata is described as new.Xylopezia andMycowinteria are each isolated taxonomically and their affinities at the family level are obscure.
