taxonomic status

Blogiascospora and Lepteutypa have been identified as the sexual morph of Seiridium.However,Seiridium is the oldest and most commonly used name and therefore, should be applied to represent both morphs.

taxonomic status

Lepteutypa fuckelii [type of the genus] does not form an asexual morph, but asexual morphs have been described for several species assigned to Lepteutypa, often by association on the natural host: e.g. Seiridium canariense for Lepteutypa cisticola (Nag Raj & Kendrick 1985), S. cardinale, S. cupressi and S. unicorne for L. cupressi (Swart 1973, Nag Raj & Kendrick 1985) or Pestalotiopsis sp. for L. podocarpi (Van der Aa 1986). These species are likely not congeneric with L. fuckelii.
