Etymology: the genus is named after the lunately shaped vegetative cells.

This genus is proposed for the branch represented by strain CGMCC 2.5818 T, which formed a separate clade. Member of the Spiculogloeomycetes. The genus is mainly circumscribed by the phylogenetic analysis of the seven genes dataset, in which it occurred as a separate branch within the Spiculogloeomycetes ( Fig. 4A View Fig ).

Sexual reproduction not known. Colonies cream, butyrous. Budding cells present. Cells special, lunate, allantoid and falcate, which differs from the cell morphology of other taxa in Spiculogloeomycetes ( Pucciniomycotina). Pseudohyphae and hyphae not produced. Ballistoconidia not formed.
