Traditionally Melanospora Corda included those fungi with perithecial ascomata possessing long necks and a thin, pale-colored peridium, evanescent asci, and one-celled, brown ascospores with or without ornamentation. Similar fungi with non-ostiolate ascomata were placed in Microthecium Corda. In recent years there has been a tendency to evaluate the presence or absence of an ostiole as being of minor significance (Von Arx, 1973; Cailleux, 1971; Krug et al., 1983). This has resulted in Microthecium being synonymized with Melanospora (Von Arx, 1973; Cannon and Hawksworth, 1982). Melanospora was treated by Doguet (1955) while Microthecium has been considered by Udagawa and Cain (1969) and Hawksworth and Udagawa (1977). Further species have been added to both taxa (e.g. Morinaga et al.,1978; Udagawa and Takada, 1974). Von Arx (1981) pointed out that Sphaerodes Clem. is available for those species with ornamented spores which appear to represent a phylogenetic unit. Meanwhile Krug and Jeng (1979) erected Pteridiosperma for some discordant species while Rhytidospora was described by Jeng and Cain (1977) for another abnormal element in this complex. Cannon and Hawksworth (1982), while treating the British taxa, reappraised the relationship of Melanospora with related genera. This resulted in the erection of several new genera, of which one was Persiciospora Cannon & Hawksw. While studying fungi isolated from tropical
