Abstract A description is provided for Tiarospora perforans [Montagnula perforans], found mainly on dead and dry leaves and stems of Ammophila and other grasses of coastal sand ecosystems, with a small number of records on living leaves, sometimes causing a leaf speckle on Leymus mollis in Oregon, USA. Nothing is known about when it colonizes the substratum, but it is saprobic by the time ascomata are produced. Some information on its habitats, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (USA (New York, Oregon)), Australasia (Australia (Victoria), New Zealand), Europe (Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Sweden, Ukraine, UK)).
