Rossman et al. (1999) established the sexual genus Lanatonectria, based on L. flocculenta, for nectriaceous fungi with Actinostilbe asexual morphs. Later, Rossman et al. (2013) proposed that the genus name Lanatonectria be suppressed in favour of Actinostilbe based on priority, as per the ICN (McNiell et al. 2012). However, Sutton (1981) had already synonymised Actinostilbe under the asexual morph genus Sarcopodium. Furthermore, Rossman et al. (2013) synonymised L. flocculenta (= A. macalpinei) under A. flocculenta. Actinostilbe flocculenta should be regarded as a synonym of S. macalpinei as proposed by Sutton (1981). Phylogenetic inference in this study clearly supports the findings of Sutton (1981). Therefore, we regard Actinostilbe as a synonym of Sarcopodium and introduce several new combinations below.
