Description.

See Dai et al. (2017).

Notes.

The fungus was originally documented by Rehm (1907) from a specimen collected in Brazil, Eutypa linearis underwent a taxonomic revision by Rappaz (1987), who reclassified it as Diatrype phaselinoides (non Diatrype linearis Ellis & Everh. 1897 ). Dai et al. (2017) provided molecular data and a reference specimen of this taxon. It is characterized by well-developed linear stromata with yellow-green interior tissue, long-stipitate asci, with hyaline to subhyaline allantoid ascospores, measuring 5–7 × 1.5–1.8 μm ( Rappaz 1987; Dai et al. 2017). Phylogenetically, it clusters together with other Stromatolinea species in a distinct clade. The morphological character of this taxon also aligns with those of Stromatolinea , providing compelling support for its placement within the Stromatolinea taxonomic framework.
