Notes.

Lei et al. (2013) placed Co. pinicola within the genus Coccomyces based on morphological characteristics with species of Coccomyces . Coccomyces pinicola clustered weakly with Colpoma quercinum in their study. After incorporating sequences from additional specimens, our phylogenetic analysis indicates that these sequences of Co. pinicola form a well-supported clade (MLB = 100 %, MPB = 82 %, PP = 1.00) together with sequences of S. massonianae , and are only distantly related to Col. quercinum . Coccomyces pinicola and S. massonianae present similar characteristics of ascomata and ascospores, thus Coccomyces pinicola is transferred to Stipamyces here. For a detailed description of this species see Lei et al. (2013).
