The latter genus, as redefined, would include Chondromyces crocatus (the type species), Chondromyces apiculatus, Chondromyces pediculatus, Chondromyces catenulatus, and Chondromyces lanuginosus. Two species are recognized as belonging to the genus Stigmatella: Stigmatella aurantiaca (the type species) and Stigmatella erecta.", }
