The teleomorph-anamorph connections of Chaetosphaeria are discussed. On the basis of there vision of the type and other herbarium material, Zignoëlla crustacea, Lasiosphaeria britzelmayri subsp. fennica, Sphaeria decastyla and Melanomma macrosporum proved to be members of Chaetosphaeria. The new combinations Chaetosphaeria crustacea, Chaet. fennica and Chaet. decastyla, are proposed, Melanomma macrosporum is included in the synonymy of the latter. Chaetosphaeria crustacea has an anamorph intermediate between Chloridium and Cylindrotrichum, Chaetosphaeriafennica has a Chloridium-like anamorph, and Chaetosphaeria decastyla has Cacumisporium capitulatum as its anamorph. Two new species, Chaetosphaeria tulasneorum associated with the anamorph Cylindrotrichum oligospermum and Chaetosphaeria acutata associated with a Cylindrotrichum anamorph, are described. The teleomorph-anamorph connections of all accepted Chaetosphaeria species, except for Chaet. fennica, were confirmed by culture studies. Chaetosphaeria abietis and Chaet. fusi for mis are also considered, and the connection with the Chloridium cylindrosporum anamorph of the latter is confirmed by culture studies for the first time. The genus Cylindrotrichum and its relationship to Chloridium and other related genera is discussed. A key to the species of Chaetosphaeria with Cylindrotrichum and Cacumisporium anamorphs is provided.
