Type species –Asymmetricospora calamicolaJ. Fröhl. & K.D. Hyde, Sydowia 50(2): 184 (1998).
Notes –Asymmetricosporawas based on distinguishing characters of absence of a subiculum, presence of short, dark setae, around the papilla, and its asymmetrical ascospores. However, the exact familial placement ofAsymmetricosporawas uncertain due to lack of sequence data (Tian et al. 2015, Jaklitsch & Voglmayr 2017). It is recommended thatAsymmetricosporashould be maintained inMelanommataceaeon account of the trabeculate pseudoparaphyses (Lumbsch & Huhndorf 2010, Zhang et al. 2012b, Hyde et al. 2013, Wijayawardene et al. 2014b, Tian et al. 2015).
