A new genus of Operculate Discomycetes, Galeoscypha Svrček et J. Moravec gen. nov., is proposed for Galeoscypha pileiformis (Svr.) Svrček et J. Moravec comb. nov. The new genus is placed in Pyronemataceae Corda em. Korf. Line drawings of the macro- and microfeatures of G. pileiformis and SEM photomicrographs of ascospores accompany the paper. Morphological characters distinguishing it from Coprobia include stipitate apothecia with a pileiform shape, granular or biguttulate ascospores, strongly cyanophilic perisporium ornamentation, and presence of rusty-brown basal mycelial hyphae.
