Remarks:
―This species was considered a synonym of
Dyplolabia afzelii
, but differs by the extremely long ascomata and the smaller ascospores, as well as the more yellowish cover of the lirellae (old collections of
D. afzelii
retain a white cover). Only two collections are known from this taxon so far, from
Sri Lanka
and
Thailand
, and this taxon needs further study.
