There have been 4 species reported from New Zealand, but many more are present.

Other genera with small, shelf-like fruiting bodies and brown spores include Pyrrhoglossum (2 species in New Zealand), Pleuroflammula (1 species in New Zealand), and Melanotus (3 species in New Zealand). Pyrrhoglossum differs in having rough-walled rather than smooth spores, Pleuroflammula has veil remants at edge of cap.
