Abstract
A world revision of the pyrenocarpous ascomycete genus Massarina (Lophiostomataceae, Pleosporales) accepting 43 species is presented. The genera Epiphegia and Oraniella are reinstated. Several species formerly classified in Massarina were found to belong to Exarmidium, of which Xylopezia is found to be a synonym. Several other species are excluded from the genus; most of them were found to be synonymous with other taxa, including many lichens. The following new combinations are proposed: Anisomeridium grumatum (Cooke) Aptroot, Epiphegia microcarpa (Fuckel) Aptroot, Exarmidium biseptatum (Sherwood) Aptroot, E. excellens (Rehm ex Saccardo) Aptroot, E. hemisphaericum (Fries: Fries) Aptroot, E. inclusum (Persoon) Aptroot, Massarina igniaria (C. Booth) Aptroot, Pseudopyrenula staphyleae (Petrak) Aptroot, Splanchnonema quinqueseptatum (M. Barr) Aptroot, Wettsteinina corni (Fuckel) Aptroot, and W. xerophylli (Ellis) Aptroot.
