USA: Pennsylvania, Bethlehem, on decorticated rotten wood, 1826, L.V.D., Schweinitz, Syn. 1213 (PH [Schweinitz Herb.]-holotype, PH [Collins Coll. no. 41], BPI [C. L. Shear's microscope slide coll.]-isotypes of Sphaeria sphaeriostoma).
Owing to the fact that this fungus is like Euepixylon udum in having an elliptical, lens-like ascospore germination site 6-8 x 2.5-3.5 µm and in having clypeate stromatal tissue, this fungus was combined with Euepixylon by Ju & Rogers (2002). Hypoxylon regale Morg. var. macrosporum J. H. Miller is a synonym.
