Type species.

Thyronectria rhodochlora (Mont.) Seeler, J. Arnold Arbor. 21: 455, 1940.

Note.

Thyronectria Sacc. was established by Saccardo (1875) to include nectria-like fungi with immersed ascomata and muriform ascospores and characterised by well-developed erumpent stromata which are often covered with yellow-green amorphous scurf and ascospores that sometimes bud in the ascus to produce ascoconidia ( Jaklitsch and Voglmayr 2014, Lombard et al. 2015). Members of the genus occur on dead corticated twigs or branches of woody plants worldwide mainly in temperate and subtropical regions ( Hirooka et al. 2012, Jaklitsch and Voglmayr 2014).
