Caliciopsis uredinicola (Kuhlman, J. W. Carmich. & T. Mill.) Zhi. Y. Zhang comb. nov. Basionym. Scytalidium uredinicola Kuhlman, J. W. Carmich. & T. Mill., Mycologia 68 (6): 1189. 1976. Description and illustration. Kuhlman et al. (1976). Notes. Scytalidium uredinicola was introduced by Kuhlman et al. (1976). In this study, the ex-type strain (CBS 578.75) of S. uredinicola nested in the genus Caliciopsis and was closely related to C. pinea (CBS 139.64) (Fig. 1). However, they can be distinguished by their low sequence similarities. The ITS sequence similarities between S. uredinicola (CBS 578.75) and C. pinea (CBS 139.64) were 97.1 %. Therefore, we transfer S. uredinicola to Caliciopsis as Caliciopsis uredinicola.
