Eutypa is a genus of fungi in the family Diatrypaceae. The widespread genus was estimated to contain 32 species in 2008,[4] and then 68 by 2023.[5] Anamorphic forms include the genera Libertella and Cytosporina.[4] The genus was circumscribed in 1863 by the French mycologists and brothers Louis and Charles Tulasne.[6]
Some species are frequently found as phytopathogens (parasitic organisms) of grape crops.[7]
