Chen, Chi-yu, Chih Li Wang & Jenn Wen Huang. Two new species of Kirschsteiniothelia from Taiwan. Mycotaxon 98: 153 - 158. 2006.

ABSTRACT: The generic concept of Kirschsteiniothelia is clarified based on the characteristics of the type species, K. aethiops. Two new species, K. reticulata and K. smilacis, are described and illustrated from Taiwan. They are more closely related to the type species than other species in Kirschsteiniothelia by having conical ascomata, obclavate asci, and ascospores with a mucilaginous sheath.
