The Trematosphaeriaceae are a family of fungi in the order of Pleosporales. They are found world-wide with the greatest contributions found in Europe and Australia.[1] It includes taxa that are found in the marine environment,[2] such as Falciformispora lignatis which can be found in freshwater and marine habitats.[3] Most are saprobic species (living on dead tissue).[4]
Trematosphaeriaceae was introduced by Suetrong et al. (2011) to include the genera Falciformispora, Halomassarina and Trematosphaeria. The main distinguishing characters of the family are medium-sized rounded ascomata with a papillate ostiole (spore ejecting hole), a relatively wide, coriaceous peridium (protectivve layer), cellular pseudoparaphyses and cylindro-clavate asci. The ascospores are two-celled or many celled, hyaline (glass-like) or brown.[5] Halomassarina was later moved to Pleomassariaceae order.[6]
