Neobarya Lowen in Eriksson & Hawksworth, System. Ascom. 5: 121. 1986 ≡ Barya Fuckel, Fungi rhenani 991. 1864 (on printed label) non Klotzsch, 1854 (Bignoniaceae). Type species: Neobarya parasitica (Fuckel) Lowen Ascomata soft, superficial, sessile, seated on a pseudoparenchymatous stroma or in a subiculum, light colored, white, green, yellow or orange, sometimes dark and horny when dry. Asci unitunicate, cylindrical or narrowly clavate to lanceolate, with enlarged thickened apical cap, ca. 3.5 × 3.5 μm, penetrated by a pore. Ascospores filiform, often flexuous, hyaline, guttulate, aseptate or septa obscure, remaining entire. Key to species of Neobarya and morphologically similar fungi 1.
