Abstract
The taxonomic history of Limacinula and its relationship to Phaeosaccardinula is reviewed. In a monographic study of the genus, six species are recognized: L. anomala, L. butleri, L. javanica, L. musicola, L. samoensis and L. theae. The characteristic habit and habitat of the species are defined as limacinuloid; the structure of the mature ascospore is a stable basis for species recognition.
