Type species –Leptocucurthis quadrataAptroot, in Aptroot & van Iperen, Nova Hedwigia 67 (3–4): 485 (1998).

Notes – The genus was reported from a fallen tree and from a trunk ofElaeocarpusin montane forest in Papua New Guinea. The genus was placed inDacampiaceaein the original publication because of similarities with the genusSinodidymella.It was transferred toTeichosporaceaeby Barr (2002). SinceLeptocucurthisstrongly differs fromDacampianotably by a saprobic life style (or parasitic of tree trunks?), ascomata with a slit-like to stellate with 3-6 radiate splits ostiole, unbranched pseudoparaphyses, long fusiform to cylindrical hyaline 1-septate ascospores, it might be better placed in theHysteriaceaethat produce a slit-like opening to release the spores.
