Orbilia is a genus of fungi in the family Orbiliaceae. Anamorphs of this genus include the Arthrobotrys, Dactylella, Dicranidion, Dwayaangam, Helicoön, Monacrosporium, and Trinacrium.[1] The genus was established in 1836 by Elias Magnus Fries to accommodate the species Peziza leucostigma.[2] The mycologist Josef Velenovský wrote articles describing species found in Bohemia and Moravia (Czechoslovakia).[3][4] In 1951, Fred Jay Seaver recorded 20 species in North America,[5] and R.W.G. Dennis later described 9 species from Venezuela.[6] According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), there are about 58 species in the genus.[1]
