Ceratostoma masonii Kirschst., Trans. Br. mycol. Soc. 18: 306. 1934. [Basionym]

Notes.
Microthecium masonii is characterized by ostiolate ascomata and ellipsoidal to fusiform, faintly striate-reticulate ascospores. The same type of ascospore ornamentation is also observed in Mi. micropertusum , but this latter species is easily distinguished by the presence of inconspicuous ridges forming a very coarse reticulum and a phialidic asexual morph.
