Resumo

The bryophilous ascomycete Octospora excipulata (Clem.) Benkert is reported as a new record in South America, based on samples collected in Tucumán, Argentina. The species was observed infecting the American moss Funaria calvescens (Funariaceae). This study provides a concise description and illustrations highlighting both macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the species. Additionally, comments on the host identity are included.
