Type species: Ambarignomonia petiolorum (Schwein.) Sogonov

Notes: The genus Ambarignomonia was introduced by Sogonov et al. (2008) to accommodate Sphaeria petiolorum. Presently, there is only one species accepted in this genus. Sogonov et al. (2008) mentioned the monotypic Ambarignomonia with A. petiolorum and is restricted to one plant host, Liquidambar styraciflua, whereas other genera of the Gnomoniaceae do not show such consistency in host associations.
