Notes.

The genus Arecophila is characterized by immersed ascomata, usually with a clypeus, unitunicate, cylindrical asci, commonly producing an apical ring, and ascospores with longitudinal striation or a verrucose wall, and surrounded by a mucilaginous sheath ( Hyde 1996; Li et al. 2022). Li et al. (2022) provided a morphological comparison of the main characters of Arecophila species. The asexual morph of Arecophila has not been reported. According to Li et al. (2022), this genus is distributed across 12 countries and is reported from 16 host species.
