Abstract

The genus Haematomma Massal. (type species: H. ochroleucum (Necker) Laundon) includes the pantropical and subtropical H. puniceum group, but differs in a range of characters including ascus structure, paraphyses, and chemistry from Ophioparma Norman (type species: Ophioparma ventosa (L.) Norman). The differences are such that a new family Ophioparmaceae Rogers & Hafellner is described with Ophioparma as its type genus, and the circumscription of the family Haematommaceae Hafellner is emended to take these changes into account. The combination Rosellinula kalbii (Hafellner) comb. nov. is proposed.
