Type genus.

Tetraploa Berk. & Broome, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 5: 459, t. 11:6 (1850).

Description.

Teleomorph see Tanaka et al. (2009). Anamorph Conidiophores absent. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic. Conidia composed of 3-8 columns or internal hyphal structure, brown, mostly verrucose at the base, with more than 3-8 setose appendages ( Tanaka et al. 2009).

Notes.

Tetraplosphaeriaceae was described by Tanaka et al. (2009) to accommodate the species which has massarina-like teleomorphic morph and tetraploa-like anamorphs based on a combined SSU and LSU DNA sequence data and established five genera. To date, the members of Tetraplosphaeriaceae are mainly distributed on Poaceae and unidentified decayed wood as saprobes and pathogens from aquatic and terrestrial habitats ( Tanaka et al. 2009; Hyde et al. 2013; Hongsanan et al. 2020; Yu et al. 2022; Li et al. 2021). It now contains nine genera and 69 species ( Tanaka et al. 2009; Pem et al. 2019; Hongsanan et al. 2020; Li et al. 2021; Liao et al. 2022).
