Ceratocladium Pat., Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 14: 196. 1898, non Ceratocladium Corda, 1839. Type species (only original species): Ceratocladium clautriavii Pat. Notes: This has been considered a nomen confusum. Von Höhnel (1909b) based his genus Basidiobotrys on Patouillard's Ceratocladium clautriavii. Ainsworth (1971) suggests that Xylo- cladium Syd., another nomen confusum, is the acceptable name. Cladosterigma Pat., Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 8: 138. 1892. Type species (only original species): Cladosterigma fusispora Pat. Notes: Petch (1923) treated the genus in the Stilbaceae as did Clements and Shear (1931) though doubtfully. Kendrick and Carmichael (1973) state that the illustration in the original publication is difficult to interpret. There are specimens of the type species in the Patouillard Herbarium. Clathrotrichum Pat., Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 37: 35. 1921. Type species (only original species): Clathrotrichum sub- carneum Pat. Notes: According to Mason (1928) this is a synonym of Beneowskia. It was treated by Clements and Shear (1931) in the Stilbaceae. Kendrick and Carmichael (1973) say it is Martindalia Sacc. & Ellis. Delortia Pat. & Gail., Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 5: 43. 1888. Type species (only original species): Delortia palmicola Pat. & Gail. Notes: This genus was originally described as a Hetero- basidiomycete by Patouillard, however, it has been treated by Linder (1929) and Moore (1955) as a genus in the Helicosporae. It is named in honor of M. Delort who collected the holotype. Helostroma Pat., Bull. Soc. Mycol. France 18: 52. 1902. Type species (only original species): Helostroma album (Desm.) Pat. Notes: Articularia v. Höh. was used by Charles (1935) for this genus. Microstoma Niessl. was considered the proper name by von Arx (1970). Hirsutella Pat., Rev. Mycol. (Toulouse) 14: 67. 1892. Type species (only original species): Hirsutella entomophila Pat. Notes: The genus was considered a degenerate Clavaria by Patouillard, however, Speare (1920) and Petch (1923, 1935) have considered it to be a Hyphomycete. Petch has added a number of speci species.
