Our phylogenetic analyses, utilising three and five gene markers, revealed that species from these two genera are congeneric, supporting the transfer of <i>Xylomelasma</i> to <i>Ceratostomella</i>. Consequently, we propose two new combinations: <i>C.sordida</i> <b>comb. nov.</b> and <i>C.novae-zelandiae</i> <b>comb. nov.</b> In addition, we identified two cryptic species within the <i>C.sordida</i> species complex, which are described as <i>C.crypta</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> and <i>C.melanospora</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> Traditional micromorphological characters have proven insufficient for differentiating these new species; however, they are clearly distinguishable by molecular data, particularly using the internal transcribed spacer region ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) of the nuclear rRNA cistron, and genes encoding the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (<i>rpb2</i>), and translation elongation factor 1-α (<i>tef1-α</i>) as primary and secondary barcodes. This study provides new insights into the morphological characteristics of <i>Ceratostomella</i>, identifying the ascogenous system as an important diagnostic trait at the generic level, which distinguishes <i>Ceratostomella</i> from morphologically similar fungi. <i>Ceratostomella</i> is currently recognised with eight species. We also investigated the relationship between <i>Ceratostomella</i> and the closely related <i>Barbatosphaeria</i>. The lack of statistical support in the Maximum likelihood analysis is discussed and the inclusion of <i>Ceratostomella</i> in Barbatosphaeriaceae is not supported. <i>Ceratostomella</i> is accepted as a genus <i>incertae sedis</i>, while Barbatosphaeriaceae remains a monotypic family. The global diversity of <i>Ceratostomella</i> is inferred from metabarcoding data and published field observations. Biogeographic analysis indicates that members of <i>Ceratostomella</i> are widespread, found in soil and decaying wood, as well as in air, dust, roots, shoots, and water across temperate, subtropical and tropical regions in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. We are concurrently publishing whole-genome analyses of three ex-type strains of <i>Ceratostomella</i>, i.e. <i>C.crypta</i>, <i>C.melanospora</i> and <i>C.sordida</i>.

There is no clear relationship between journal impact factor and the discovery of new species hypotheses for the years 2000-2021. On the contrary, we found journals with low, and even no, impact factor to account for substantial parts of the species hypothesis landscape, often discovering new fungal taxa that are only later picked up by journals with high impact factors.
