NOTES

Diatrype was established byFries (1849) with Diatrype disciformis as the type species. The genus occurs widely on decaying wood. Several species are reported as canker forming pathogens on forest trees ( Senanayake et al. 2015). Species in this genus are resistant to harsh conditions. The asexual morph of Diatrype is reported as libertella-like and dumortieria-like ( Kirk et al. 2008; Wijayawardene et al. 2012; Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015, 2016; Senanayake et al. 2015). There are no previous records of Diatrype species from marine based habitats.
