Three new genera are described: A aosphaeria Aptroot (Pleosporales, ?Dacampiaceae), Flagellosphaeria Apt root (Xylariales, Amphisphaeriaceae) and Munkovalsaria Aptroot (Pleosp orales, Dacampiaceae). Three new species are described: Astrosphaeriel la papuana Aptroot, Munkovalsaria rubra Aptroot, Van der Aa and O. Pet rini and Parapyrenis maritima Aptroot.
