Orbilia is a genus of fungi in the family Orbiliaceae. Anamorphs of this genus include the Arthrobotrys, Dactylella, Dicranidion, Dwayaangam, , Monacrosporium, and .[2] The genus was established in 1836 by Elias Magnus Fries to accommodate the species Peziza leucostigma.[3] The mycologist Josef Velenovský wrote articles describing species found in Bohemia and Moravia (Czechoslovakia).[4][5] In 1951, Fred Jay Seaver recorded 20 species in North America,[6] and R.W.G. Dennis later described 9 species from Venezuela.[7] According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), there are about 58 species in the genus.[2]
