Substrate and distribution: Zostera , brown, green and red algae and marine wood. Bohuslän, Skåne, Västergötland. Additional record: Bohuslän, Skaftö par., Fiskebäckskil , Rödbergsviken , 58°15′08″N, 11°27′57″E, on driftwood, 22.VI 2017, ST 17-23 b ( UPS).

Notes: Swedish collections recorded as Dendryphiella salina (G.K. Sutherl.) Pugh et Nicot by Erneholm (1972) from Bohuslän, Skåne, and Västergötland. Also, under the same name, in Henningsson (1974) from Bohuslän.

This species name has changed repeatedly as indicated in the above synonymy, the most recent based on molecular data. Jones et al. (2008) (ITS, SSU, LSU), concluded that the marine Dendryphiella Bubák et Ranoj. species, Dendryphiella arenaria Nicot and Dendryphiella salina , belong to the Pleosporaceae in a sister clade to the Pleospora Rabenh. ex Ces. et De Not. / Stemphylium Wallr. complex. They also showed the type species of Dendryphiella , Dendryphiella vinosa (Berk. et M.A. Curtis) Reisinger , to be only distantly related to D. arenaria and D. salina . The marine Dendryphiella species are morphologically different from Scolecobasidium E.V. Abbott as they lack denticles on the conidiogenous cells as described by Ellis (1976).
