AbstractTwenty-three species and 1 variety of the Ostropalean genus Stictis Persoon:Fries are reported from New Zealand: S. brachyspora Saccardo et Berlese, S. camea Seaver et Waterson, S. dicksoniae Sherwood, S. dumontii Sherwood, S. fuscella Sherwood, S. hawaiiensis Cash, S. prom-inens Sherwood, S. radiata Persoon:Fries, S. ramuligera Starback, S. serpentaria Ellis et Everhart, S. virginea Cooke et Phillips, together with the newly described species, S. asteliae, S. clavata, S. collospermi, S. cordylinae, S. dealbata, S. inconstans, S. laciniata, S. lata, S. paucula, S. subiculata, S. tortilis, and S. trinervia spp. nov., and the newly described variety, S. ramuligera var. minor var. nov. Seven taxa with hyaline ascocarp wall-hyphae, S. camea, S. hawaiiensis, S. ramuligera, S. ramuligera var. minor, S. lata, S. prominens, and S. inconstans formed Ebollia Minter et Caine anamorphs in culture. Four species with brown ascocarp wall-hyphae, S. asteliae, S. subiculata, S. dicksoniae, and S. serpentaria formed Coleophoma-like anamorphs in culture. Anamorphs of 3 species, S. camea, S. ramuligera, and S. subiculata, were also found in nature.
