Notes on the Calosphaeriales

Abstract
The history and diagnostic characteristics of the Calosphaeriales, family Calosphaeriaceae (Class Ascomycetes) are reviewed. A combination of features of ascomata and asci permits recognition of 8 genera: Calosphaeria, Scoptria, Enchnoa, Jattaea, Romellia, Graphostroma, Togninia and Pleurostoma. Some of the species are described and illustrated. One new species, R. tympanoides, is described: the new combinations S. discreta (basonym: Wegelina discreta), J. curvicolla (basonym: Sphaeria curvicolla), J. ceanothina (basonym: Sphaeria ceanothina), R. cornina (basonym: Valsa cornina) and P. ootheca (basonym: Sphaeria ootheca) are proposed.
