Chaetoscypha Syd. 1924

The type species of the New Zealand endemic genus Chaetoscypha was recombined by Johnston (2002) as Pirottaea nidulans. Baral (2016) noted that morphologically P. nidulans has an ascus apical ring typical of Helotiaceae rather than Ploettnerulaceae, the family he accepted for Pirottaea. Sequences from a morphologically similar fungus from New Zealand, Pirottaea palmicola, support the Baral (2016) interpretation of these New Zealand “Pirottaea” species as Helotiaceae.
