Apothecia minute, usually less than 1 mm. in diameter, 

 sessile, or subsessile, occasionally with a short, stem-like base, 

 superficial, or suberumpent, dark-grayish, greenish, or more 

 frequently bright-colored, red, yellow, or purplish, externally 

 smooth or nearly so; asci clavate, typically 8-spored; spores 

 ellipsoid, or fusoid, normally 1 -septate (rarely 3-septate), hya- 

 line; paraphyses filiform, simple, or branched, the ends either 

 free, or agglutinated and forming an epithecium. 



Type species, Peziza fusarioides Berk. 



Most of the species originally included by Fries in this genus 

 are now placed in OrhiJia . The species here accepted as the type 

 was the last one mentioned by Fries but has come to be regarded 

 as the type. The spore characters were ignored by Fries. 



Beloniella seems to have been established for species which 

 are erumpent or a Pyrenopeziza with a septate spore.
