Parahypoxylon M. Cedeno-Sanchez, E. Charria-Giron & M. Stadler gen. nov.

Etymology.

Refers to the morphological similarity to Hypoxylon , from which the genus is phylogenetically distinct.

Diagnosis.

Differs from the genus Durotheca by the presence of greenish KOH-extractable pigments and by having an amyloid ascal apical apparatus. Differs from the genus Hypoxylon by containing yet unknown cohaerin-type azaphilones and by its basal position in the molecular phylogenetic inference using am ITS, LSU, rpb2 and tub2 matrix.
