Crane ex Kohlm. & Volkm-Kohlm., Halosphaeriopsis mediosetigera (Cribb & J.W. Cribb) T. W. Johnson, Wettsteinina marina (H. Ellis & Everh.) Shoemaker & C. E.Babc., Leptosphaeria oraemaris Linder, Passeriniella obiones (P. Crouan & H. Crouan) K. D. Hyde & Mouzouras, Remispora maritima Linder; one species of Deuteromycotina: Phoma glomerata Wollenw. & Hochapfel and one species of Basidiomycotina: Digitatispora marina Doguet.
