Notes.

Réblová (2006) designated the lectotype (illustration; Tode 1791: fig. 79) and epitype (Fries´s Scleromyceti Sueciae 116, decayed wood, PRM 666367 ) of C. rostrata . Untereiner (1993), in her revision of the genus Endoxyla , cited Ceratostomella ampullasca ( Saccardo 1882) and Endoxyla laevirostris ( Munk 1965) as synonyms of C. rostrata . However, recent collections and molecular DNA data have revealed that these two species are conspecific and were reclassified as Natantiella ligneola ( Réblová and Štěpánek 2009) . There are numerous records of C. rostrata in MyCoPortal; however, these may represent species of Endoxyla , as the synonymy of this species was only recently clarified. Accurate identification would require a thorough examination of the herbarium specimens cited, which are housed in various collections around the world.

Ceratostomella rostrata is somewhat similar to C. cuspidata ; however, it differs in having larger ascomata and pale brown, allantoid to suballantoid, narrower ascospores measuring 4.5–6 × 1.5–2 μm. These ascospores are typically arranged in a fascicle in the upper part of the ascus or are 2–3 - seriate within the ascus. Molecular data for this species are not available.
