Type species –Vaginatispora aquaticaK.D. Hyde, Nova Hedwigia 61(1-2): 235 (1995).

Notes –Vaginatisporais characterized by immersed to erumpent ascomata, with slotlike ostioles, with numerous periphyses, and 1-septate, narrowly fusiform ascospores, with a thick surrounding papilionaceous sheath (Hyde 1995). Molecular studies based on combined gene analyses showed thatVaginatispora aquaticaclusters withLophiostomataceaebased on a new collection from Thailand and the species was transferred toLophiostoma(Zhang et al. 2014a). Phylogenetic results showed the placement ofVaginatisporainLophiostomataceae(Thambugala et al. 2015b).
