Abstract
The morphology of Acrospeira mirabilis is described and illustrated based on a collection from Florida, USA. Phylogenies generated from ITS and LSU DNA sequence analyses place the genus Acrospeira in Ceratostomataceae. Based on molecular data, Sphaerodes inferior
(≡ Microthecium retisporum var.inferius) is proposed as Microthecium inferius comb. nov.
