abstract = {Several genera are mentioned in the literature as having similar morphology as the clavicipitaceous genus Podocrella, viz. Atricordyceps, Ophiocordyceps, Wakefieldiomyces, and Cordyceps peltata. These genera have capitate-stipitate stromata that gradually expand into a vertically flattened fruiting head with strongly protruding perithecia, dark in color, and with eight multiseptate filiform ascospores that disarticulate at the middle septum to form two lanceolate multiseptate part-ascospores. In this study, several specimens of the above mentioned species, including the types, were examined in order to determine if they were congeneric with Podocrella. In addition, this study reveals the connection of Podocrella to its anamorph genus, Harposporium, and its relationship to several other clavicipitaceous genera, based on morphological data and large subunit nuclear ribosomal DNA (LSU) sequences. The results show that Podocrella and selected Harposporium LSU sequences form a monophyletic group and that this clade is closely related to Aschersonia. A new species of Podocrella from Costa Rica, P. fusca, is described and a key to the known species is presented.}
