ABSTRACT A modified generic concept is adopted in the study of ascomycetes referred to Astrosphaeriella from Taiwan. Seven species, including two new species, are described and illustrated. A key to the Taiwan species is also provided. Those species with striate ascospores are found to constitute a distinct group within Astrosphaeriella and can readily be distinguished from the other species in Astrosphaeriella.
