Abstract Article 59.1, of the International Code of Nomen-
clature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants (ICN; Melbourne Code),
which addresses the nomenclature of pleomorphic fungi, be-
came effective from 30 July2011. Since thatdate, each fungal
species can have one nomenclaturally correct name in a par-
ticular classification. All other previously used names for this
species will be considered as synonyms. The older generic
epithet takes priority over the younger name. Any widely used
younger names proposed for use, must comply with Art. 57.2
and their usage should be approved by the Nomenclature
Committee for Fungi (NCF). In this paper, we list all genera
currently accepted by us in Dothideomycetes (belonging to 23

pleomorphic genera. In the case of pleomorphic genera, we
follow the rulings of the current ICN and propose single
generic names for future usage. The taxonomic placements
of 1261 genera are listed as an outline. Protected names and
suppressed names for 34 pleomorphic genera are listed sepa-
rately. Notes and justifications are provided for possible pro-
posed names after the list of genera. Notes are also provided
on recent advances in our understanding of asexual and sexual
morph linkages in Dothideomycetes. A phylogenetic tree
based on four gene analyses supported 23 orders and 75
families, while 35 families still lack molecular data.

Introduction
Dothideomycetes is one of the largest and most significant
classes within Ascomycota (Kirk et al. 2008; Schoch et al.
2009;Hyde et al. 2013). Thousands of species that are
important either as plant pathogens in agriculture and
forestry (Cortinas et al. 2006; Crous et al. 2007;Wikee
et al. 2011,2013a,b;Manamgodaetal.2012), or med-
ical (Siu and Lzumi 2004; da Cunha et al. 2012,2013)
or biotechnological industries (Verkley et al. 2004;
Damm et al. 2008; de Wit et al. 2012; Ohm et al.
2012; Stergiopoulos et al. 2012;Hydeetal.2014)are
included in the Dothideomycetes. A large number of
Dothideomycetes show pleomorphism, that is, they occur
as sexual and asexual states through their life history, but
may be separated in time and space (Kendrick 1979). As
a result dual names have been applied to the same genus
and this has resulted in a great deal of confusion among
scientists interested in Dothideomycetes (Cannon and
Kirk 2000; Wingfield et al. 2012). Furthermore, the dual
names have a direct influence on many allied disciplines,
such as plant quarantine and trade in food and fibre,
human health, industrial mycology, and plant breeding.
Saccardo (1904) promulgated the dual system of fungal
nomenclature (i.e. asexual and sexual morphs with different

names) as a solution to the confused situation of asexual and
sexual morphs faced by taxonomists at the time. This was
accepted by the International Botanical Congress (IBC) in
Vienna, Austria (Briquet et al. 1906), and captured in what
became Article 59 in more recent editions of the International
Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) (Taylor 2011).
The concept of the ‘holomorph’(i.e. the whole life cycle
with sexual and asexual morphs) was first demonstrated by
the Tulasne brothers and Berkeley (1857). Kendrick (1979)
and Sivanesan (1984) are classic mycologists who attempted
to integrate asexual and sexual morphs. Sutton (1980)also
summarized established links between coelomycetous asexual
states and their sexual states, while Seifert et al. (2011) did the
same for hyphomycetous genera. Most of these established
links were based on co-occurrence of both morphs on the
same substrate (Walker and Sutton 1974) or culture-based
methods, particularly the development of asexual morphs
from single ascospore isolates (Leonard and Suggs 1974;
Hyde et al. 1996). However, utilization of PCR and DNA
sequencing in the fungi since the late-1990s (Nilsson et al.
2014), have established and confirmed many sexual and asex-
ual links (e.g. Alternaria-Lewia,Bipolaris-Cochliobolus,
Botryosphaeria-Fusicoccum,Cladosporium-Davidiella,
Mycosphaerella-Ramularia,Teratosphaeria-Kirramyces fide
Crous et al. 2009; Bensch et al. 2012; Manamgoda et al. 2012;
Phillips et al. 2013;Hydeetal.2014), while many other links
have been rejected (e.g. Cercospora-Mycosphaerella,
Paraconiothyrium-Paraphaeosphaeria,Plenodomus-
Leptosphaeria,Pseudocercospora-Mycosphaerella,
Stagonospora-Phaeosphaeria fide Crous et al. 2012;de
Gruyter et al. 2013; Groenewald et al. 2013; Quaedvlieg
et al. 2013,2014; Verkley et al. 2014).
There has been considerable research interest in the molec-
ular phylogeny of the Dothideomycetes in the last four years
with studies based on single and multi-gene rDNA sequence
data (Hyde et al. 2013). These phylogenetic advances have
helped taxonomists to link species or generic names, enabling
us to now propose or select one name for a single species, or
genus. Decisions taken at the XVIII
th
International Botanical
Congress, in Melbourne, Australia in 2011 (Hawksworth
2012) ruled that separate nomenclatural status for naming of
asexual and sexual names morphs of the same species was no

longer permitted; this became effective from 30 July 2011
(Hawksworth 2012; Wingfield et al. 2012). Based on this
ruling, mycologists now have the task to clear up the historical
confusion that has resulted from the practice of dual nomencla-
ture, and in this paper we deal with the largest group of asco-
mycetes, Dothideomycetes. We therefore propose a single name
for pleomorphic dothideomycete genera to be added to the list of
“accepted/protected names”, while other names (sexual/asexual)
will be included in a list of “suppressed names”(Table 1). At the
same time, we incorporate all asexual genera into natural clas-
sification system where molecular data are available. Currently

Dothideomycetes comprises of 23 orders, 110 families and 1261
genera. However, 23 orders and 76 families are supported by
molecular data, while 36 families lack molecular data.
The draft of this manuscript with 71 initial authors from
all disciplines interested in Dothideomycetes was first
prepared and placed online on the International Commission
on the Taxonomy of Fungi (ICTF) webpage (http://www.
fungaltaxonomy.org/) on 20 February 2014. Comments were
then invited from interested parties who were also invited
to co-author the paper. A draft version was discussed at

Materials and methods
The proposed names are based on Kirk et al. (2008,
2013), Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010) and Hyde et al.
(2013). The links between asexual and sexual morphs take
Fig. 1 (continued)

into account the important publications of Kendrick
(1979), Sivanesan (1984), Sutton (1980), Seifert et al.
(2011), Hyde et al. (2011), Wijayawardene et al. (2012)
and other recent research based on culture and molecular
phylogeny (e.g. Crous et al. 2009,2013; de Gruyter et al.
2013; Boonmee et al. 2012,2014b; Chomnunti et al. 2011;

Liu et al. 2011; Manamgoda et al. 2012; Phillips et al. 2013;
Wijayawardene et al. 2014a,b,c).
Proposed names are selected depending on the following
criteria:
1. The evidence for established links
a. Culture-based (e.g. single-spore) methods
b. Molecular methods
2. Number of epithets in Index Fungorum and MycoBank
3. The oldest generic name
4. Other significant aspects, such as pathogenic importance
and industrial applications
5. Usage of the name in literature and databases
The oldest name is accepted where it conforms best
with current practice, while usage of a widely used
name is proposed when this is more significant. Pro-
posed names (protected names) are listed in the first
column (Table 1) of the table and second column com-
prises suppressed names. The suppressed name could be
a sexual, asexual or a synasexual morph. Asterisk marks
(*) are added for genera which we provide notes on
recent changes and naming. Genera marked with (
#
)
refer to changes made via articles in the same journal
volume and annotated under the family or order (i.e.
Ariyawansa et al. 2014c; Boonmee et al. 2014b;
Hongsanan et al. 2014c; Thambugala et al. 2014c;
Fig. 1 (continued)
Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55 9
Phookamsak et al. 2014). In the present outline, we
have added (C) = coelomycetous and (H) = hyphomy-
cetous asexual genera against entries where known.
In giving preference here to the earliest validly pub-
lished generic name regardless of the morph represented
by the type specimen of the type species of the genus,
we are aware that Art. 57.2 of the current Code (McNeill
et al. 2012) requires that in cases where a well-
established asexually typified name is preferred, there
should first be a formal proposal made to the Nomencla-
ture Committee for Fungi (NCF). We regard this is an
unnecessarily time-consuming process, and proposals to
delete this provision were strongly supported in the No-
menclature Sessions at IMC10 and will be made to the
next International Botanical Congress in 2017. Inclusion
in Lists of Accepted Names which are approved in due
course by the NCF is a preferable way to handle such
cases, and for Dothideomycetes, this article will be the
basis of the eventual list for this class.
Phylogenetic analyses
Sequences (Table 1) were obtained from GenBank following
Hyde et al. (2013) and other recent publications (eg. Crous
et al. 2013; Phillips et al. 2013; Quaedvlieg et al. 2013,2014;
Slippers et al. 2013; Wijayawardene et al. 2013,2014a,b,c;
Pérez-Ortega et al. 2014). DNA sequences for each gene
region (small subunits ribosomal RNA (SSU), large subunits
ribosomal RNA (LSU), the translation elongation factor-1
alpha (TEF1) and the second largest subunit of RNA poly-
merase II (RPB2) were initially aligned using Bioedit (Hall
2004) and ClustalW v. 1.6 (Thompson et al. 1997).
Alignments were manually checked and optimized wher-
ever necessary. The dataset was refined visually in
BioEdit v. 7.0.1 (Hall 2004). All absent genes were coded as
missing data.
The phylogenetic analyses of the combined LSU,
SSU, TEF1 and RPB2 data were performed using max-
imum likelihood, Bayesian and maximum parsimony
algorithms.
Maximum likelihood (ML) analysis was performed at the
RAxML 7.2.8 as part of the “RAxML-HPC2 on TG”tool
(Stamatakis 2006) implemented in raxmlGUI v.0.9b2
(Silvestro and Michalak 2010). A general time reversible
model (GTR) was applied with a discrete gamma distri-
bution and four rate classes. Hundred thorough maxi-
mum likelihood (ML) tree searches were done in
RAxML v. 7.2.7 under the same model. Maximum like-
lihood bootstrap values (MLBP) equal or greater than 50
% are given above each node (Fig. 1).
Maximum-parsimony analyses were performed by
PAUP v. 4.0b10 (Swofford 2002) using the heuristic
search option with 1,000 random taxa addition and tree
bisection and reconnection (TBR) as the branch swap-
ping algorithm. All characters were unordered and of
equal weight and gaps were treated as missing data. The
Tree Length (TL), Consistency Indices (CI), Retention
Indices (RI), Rescaled Consistency Indices (RC) and
Homoplasy Index (HI) were calculated for each tree
generated. Maxtrees were unlimited, branches of zero
length were collapsed and all multiple, equally parsimo-
nious trees were saved. Clade stability was assessed
using a bootstrap (BT) analysis with 1,000 replicates,
each with 10 replicates of random stepwise addition of taxa
(Hillis and Bull 1993). Maximum parsimony bootstrap values
(MPBP) equal or greater than 50 % are given above each node
(Fig. 1).
The model of evolution was estimated by using
MrModeltest 2.2 (Nylander 2004). Independent Bayes-
ian phylogenetic analyses were performed in MrBayes
v. 3.1.2 (Huelsenbeck and Ronquist 2001) using a uni-
form [GTR+I+G] model, lsetnst=6 rates=invgamma;
prsetstatefreqpr =dirichlet (1,1,1,1). Posterior probabili-
ties (PP) (Rannala and Yang 1996; Zhaxybayeva and
Gogarten 2002) were determined by Markov Chain
Monte Carlo sampling (BMCMC) in MrBayes v. 3.0b4
(Huelsenbeck and Ronquist 2001). Six simultaneous
Markov chains were run for 10,000,000 generations and trees
were sampled every 100th generation (resulting in 10,000
total trees).
Phylogenetic trees were visualized with Treeview v. 1.6.6
(Page 1996) and MEGA 5 (Tamura et al. 2011).
Results
Phylogenetic analyses
The combined LSU, SSU, TEF1 and RPB2 data set consists
of 415 taxa, with Schismatomma dirinellum (S-F206034)
and S. decolorans (DUKE 47570) which representing the
outgroup taxa. The dataset consists of 4,302 characters after
alignment, 1,496 characters are conserved, and 2,228 char-
acters are parsimony informative, while 2,767 are variable
characters. A heuristic search with random addition of taxa
(1,000 replicates) and treating gaps as missing characters
generated six equally parsimonious trees. The best scoring
RAxML trees are shown in Fig. 1. Bootstrap support (BS)
values of MP and ML (equal to or above 50 %) and
Bayesian Posterior Probabilities (BYPP) with those equal
or greater than 0.90 given below each node are shown on
the upper branches.

et al., Melanopsaceae Phillips et al. and Saccharataceae
Slippers et al. clustered within Botryosphaeriales with high
bootstrap values. Aureobasidiaceae Thambugala & K.D.
Hyde grouped as a distinct clade in Dothideales
(Thambugala et al. 2014a). New clades appeared for
Camarosporium sensu stricto (Camarosporiaceae fide
Wijayawardene et al. in prep.) and Homortomyces with low
and high bootstrap values respectively. Wiesneriomycetaceae
grouped as a sister clade to Tubeufiaceae and this agrees with
Suetrong et al. (2014). Extremaceae and Neodevriesiaceae
appeared as new distinct clades in Capnodiales as shown by
Quaedvlieg et al. (2014). However, Teratosphaeriaceae sep-
arated into two distinct clades (Fig. 1) which does not agree
with Quaedvlieg et al. (2014).

Notes on recent changes and naming
In this section we provide notes explaining our proposals to
grant particular generic names protected or suppressed status
(Table 1), and also drawing attention to recent advances in our
understanding of asexual and sexual morph linkages in
Dothideomycetes. Furthermore, we provide notes for all new-
ly introduced names for families and genera Dothideomycetes
since Hyde et al. (2013).
Aaosphaeria Aptroot, Nova Hedwigia 60 (3–4): 329 (1995)
Notes: Aptroot (1995) stated that the type species,
Aaosphaeria arxii (Aa) Aptroot has a Microsphaeropsis
26 Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55
asexual state that “could be close to Polycoccum in the
Dacampiaceae”. The type species of Microsphaeropsis,Mi.
olivacea (Bonord.) Höhn. however, was shown to cluster in
Didymellaceae (de Gruyter et al. 2009), thus we conclude
Aaosphaeria has a microsphaeropsis-like asexual state.
Abrothallaceae Sergio Pérez-Ortega & Ave Suija, Fungal
Diversity 64 (1): 303 (2014)
Notes: See notes under Abrothallales.
Abrothallales Sergio Pérez-Ortega & Ave Suija, Fungal
Diversity 64 (1): 302 (2014)
Notes: Pérez-Ortega et al. (2014) introduced this order and
it comprises one family viz. Abrothallaceae. Currently only
one genus is placed in Abrothallaceae i.e. Abrothallus and it
appears to be well-established order in Dothideomycetes.The
molecular analyses of Pérez-Ortega et al. (2014) are supported
in our multi-gene analyses (Fig. 1).
Abrothallus De Not., Mem Reale Accad Sci Torino ser. 2
10: 351–355 (1845)
Notes: See notes under Abrothallales.
Acanthohelicospora Boonmee & K.D. Hyde, Fungal Di-
versity 68 (2014)
Notes: The genus Acanthohelicospora (Tubeufiaceae)was
introduced by Boonmee et al. (2014b) with A. pinicola
Boonmee & K.D. Hyde as the type species. Currently the
genus comprises four species including the type species A.
aureum,A. guianense and A. scopulum.
Acanthostigmella Hön., Annls mycol. 3 (4): 327 (1905)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014b) excluded this genus from
Tubeufiaceae and placed in Dothideomycetes,generaincertae
sedis.
Acervuloseptoria Crous & Jol. Roux, Persoonia 32: 275
(2014)
Notes: Crous et al. (2014) introduced Acervuloseptoria
with A. ziziphicola Crous & Jol. Roux as the type species.
Acervuloseptoria is morphologically and phylogenetically
quite distinct from Septoria sensu stricto, however, it belongs
in Mycosphaerellaceae (Crous et al. 2014).
Achaetobotrys Bat. & Cif., Saccardoa 2: 49 (1963)
Notes: Kirk et al. (2008) stated that this genus has
Antennariella Bat. & Cif. asexual states. However, taxonomic
placement of Antennariella is uncertain; hence we do not
synonymize these two genera. Further molecular-based anal-
yses are essential.
Acicuseptoria Quaedvlieg et al., Stud. Mycol. 75: 376
(2013)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2013)introducedAcicuseptoria
and molecular data analyses showed it belongs in
Leptosphaeriaceae.
Acrocalymma Alcorn & J.A.G. Irwin, Trans. Br. mycol.
Soc. 88 (2): 163 (1987)
Notes: Alcorn and Irwin (1987) established this genus with
Acrocalymma medicaginis Alcorn & J.A.G. Irwin as the type
species. Shoemaker et al. (1991) observed the sexual state of
Acrocalymma medicaginis in pure culture and named it as
Massarina walkeri Shoemaker et al. Zhang et al. (2012)
introduced a new species, Acrocalymma aquatica H. Zhang
& K.D. Hyde and confirmed the close relationship with A.
medicaginis in their combined SSU and LSU and ITS analy-
ses. However, Zhang et al. (2012) further showed that
Massarina walkeri is not congeneric with Massarina sensu
stricto and placed it in Pleosporales genera incertae sedis
close to Morosphaeriaceae. Thus, we conclude that
Acrocalymma has massarina-like sexual states.
Acrogenotheca Cif. & Bat., Saccardoa 2: 51 (1963)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014a)acceptedthisgenusin
Tricho pe ltinac eae .
Acrospermum Tode, Fung. mecklenb. sel. (Lüneburg) 1: 8
(1790)
Notes: Carmichael et al. (1980) reported Acrospermum
compressum Tode to have a Dactylaria Sacc. asexual state.
However, Dactylaria is considered as polyphyletic (Seifert et
al. 2011; Wijayawardene et al. 2012), hence we conclude that
Acrospermum has dactylaria-like asexual states.
Alanphillipsia Crous & M.J. Wingf., Persoonia, Mol. Phyl.
Evol. Fungi 31: 197 (2013)
Notes: Crous et al. (2013) introduced this genus with four
species and megablast results showed it belongs to
Botryosphaeriaceae.
Allosoma Syd., Annls mycol. 24 (5/6): 353 (1926)
Notes: Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010) listed Allosoma un-
der Dothideomycetes, genera incertae sedis. Thambugala et al.
(2014c)referAllosoma to Englerulaceae based on morpholog-
ical similarities with the generic type of Englerulaceae.

Notes: Simmons (1986;2002;2007)showedthatLewia is
the sexual morph of Alternaria and discussed the morpholog-
ical differences of the latter from Pleospora to which
Alternaria was originally linked (Pleospora is the sexual state
of Stemphylium). Simmons (1986) also mentioned that Lewia
scrophulariae (Desm.) M.E. Barr & E.G. Simmons, the ge-
neric type, has an Alternaria asexual state. Woudenberg et al.
(2013)showedthatLewia states developed in several sections
of Alternaria, and reduced Brachycladium,Chalastospora,
Chmelia,Crivellia,Embellisia,Lewia,Nimbya,Sinomyces,
Tere t i s p o r a ,Ulocladium,Undifilum and Ybotromyces to syn-
onymy under Alternaria based on molecular and morpholog-
ical studies. Furthermore, Woudenberg et al. (2013) treated the
type species of Macrospora Fuckel, M. scirpicola (DC.)
Fuckel as a synonym of Alternaria scirpicola (Fuckel) Sivan.
which is the type species of Alternaria,sectionNimbya.
Alternariaster E.G. Simmons, CBS Diversity Ser. (Utrecht)
6: 667 (2007)
Notes: Simmons (2007) introduced this monotypic genus
and transferred Alternaria helianthi (Hansf.) E.G. Simmons to
Alternariaster helianthi (Hansf.) E.G. Simmons. Simmons
(2007)consideredAlternariaster to be related to Alternaria,
however, Alves et al. (2013) and Woudenberg et al. (2013)
clealy showed Alternariaster (Leptosphaeriaceae)tohavea
distinct phylogenetic affinity in Pleosporales and removed it
from Alternaria sensu stricto (Pleosporaceae).
Amniculicola Y. Zhang ter & K.D. Hyde, Mycol. Res.
112(10): 1189 (2008)
Notes: Zhang et al. (2009a,b) showed that this genus
forms a well-established monophyletic clade in their LSU
rDNA analysis. In the same clade, two asexual fungi i.e.
Anguillospora longissima (Sacc. & P. Syd.) Ingold and
Repetophragma ontariense (Matsush.) W.P. Wu also
grouped. The type species of Amniculicola,A. lignicola
Y. Zhang ter & K.D. Hyde grouped with Anguillospora
longissima, the type species of Anguillospora with low
bootstrap values. However, it is essential to include more
strains and more gene regions before synonymizing
Amniculicola under an older hyphomycete name.
Amycosphaerella Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33:
22 (2014)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014)showedthat
Mycosphaerella africana Crous & M.J. Wingf. is not conge-
neric with Mycosphaerella sensu stricto and introduced
Amycosphaerella to accommodate M. africana.Bothgenera
are distinct in morphology, and Amycosphaerella does not
produce a Ramularia asexual morph (Quaedvlieg et al. 2014).
Anariste Syd., Annls mycol. 25(1/2): 76 (1927)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) transferred this genus
from Asterinaceae to Micropeltidaceae.

Notes: Hughes (1976;2000) stated that the sooty
mould genus Antennulariella is the sexual state of
Antennariella and its Capnodendron synasexual. Most of
these links were established based on co-occurrence of
both morphs on the same substrate and so far not proved
by molecular phylogeny. However, Hyde et al. (2013)
synonymised Antennariella Bat. & Cif and Capnodendron
S. Hughes under Antennulariella.
Anthracostroma Petr., Sydowia 8(1–6): 96 (1954)
=Camarosporula Petr., Sydowia 8(1–6): 99 (1954)
Notes: Petrak (1954)establishedCamarosporula to place
the conidial state of Anthracostroma. This established link
was confirmed by Crous et al. (2011)intheirDNAse-
quence analysis. Both genera are monophyletic and thus
priority should apply to the older name Anthracostroma
and the asexual state Camarosporula synonymized under
Anthracostroma.
Apenidiella Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 28 (2014)
28 Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55
Notes: The genus Apenidiella was introduced to place the
morphologically similar Penidiella strumelloidea (Milko &
Dunaev) Crous & U. Braun (Quaedvlieg et al. 2014), which is
phylogenetically distinct. It is placed in Teratosphaeriaceae
by molecular data.

naturw. Kl., Abt. 1 119: 439 (1910)
=Dibotryon Theiss. & Syd., Annls mycol. 13(5/6): 663
(1915)
=Parodiodia Bat., Saccardoa 1:9 (1960)
Notes: Zhang et al. (2011) and Hyde et al. (2013)consid-
ered Dibotryon to be a synonym of Apiosporina following
von Arx and Müller (1975), Barr (1968) and Crous et al.
(2007). Furthermore, Winton et al. (2007) phylogenetically
showed that Apiosporina collinsii (Schwein.) Höhn., the type
species of Apiosporina and Dibotryon morbosum (Schwein.)
Theiss. & Syd., the type species of Dibotryon are congeneric.
Herein, we also accept Dibotryon, as a synonym of
Apiosporina.
Aplosporella Speg., Anal. Soc. cient. argent. 10(5–6): 157
(1880)
Notes: See notes under Aplosporellaceae.
Aplosporellaceae Slippers et al., Stud Mycol 76: 41 (2013)
Notes: Slippers et al. (2013)showedthatAplosporella and
Bagnisiella,Melanops,andSaccharata have distinct phylo-
genetic lineages in Botryosphaeriales. Hence they introduced
Aplosporellaceae (Aplosporella and Bagnisiella),
Melanopsaceae (Melanops)andSaccharataceae
(Saccharata) as new families in Botryosphaeriales.
Aposphaeria Sacc., Michelia 2(no. 6): 4 (1880)
Notes: De Gruyter et al. (2013)showedthatAposphaeria
accommodated in Melanommataceae in their molecular data
analyses.
Appendispora K.D. Hyde, Anal. Soc. cient. argent. 46(1):
29 (1994)
Notes: Based on its similarities with Roussoellaceae,
Ariyawansa et al. (2014b)placedAppendispora in
Roussoellaceae.
Arnaudiella Petr., Annls mycol. 25(3/4): 339 (1927)
Notes: Crous and Kendrick (1994) introduced
Xenogliocladiopsis to place the conidial state of Arnaudiella
eucalyptorum Crous & W.B. Kendr. However, several col-
lections of X. eucalyptorum from Eucalyptus in Australia
and South Africa have since shown that this published
connection was in fact incorrect, and that Xenogliocladiopsis
is a distinct genus in the Hypocreales (Nectriaceae), and
does not belong to the Dothideomycetes (P.W. Crous,
unpubl. data). Presently there are no confirmed asexual
morphs for Arnaudiella.
Arthrocatena E. Egidi & L. Selbmann, Fungal Diversity
65: 159 (2014)
Notes: This new genus was introduced with A. tenebrio
Egidi & Selbmann in Egidi et al. (2014). Molecular analyses
of a combined data set of nu LSU, RPB2, ITS, BT2 showed
Arthrocatena to belong in Capnodiales incertae sedis (Egidi
et al. 2014).
Arthrographis G. Cochet ex Sigler & J.W. Carmich.,
Mycotaxon 4(2): 359 (1976)
Notes: The genus Arthrographis is traditionally considered
as a member of Eremomycetaceae (Malloch and Sigler 1988).
Giraldo et al. (2014)showedthatArthrographis is polyphy-
letic. However, the type species of Arthrographis,A. kalrae
(R.P. Tewari & Macph.) Sigler & J.W. Carmich. was shown to
belong in Eremomycetaceae (Giraldo et al. 2014).

=Stagonosporopsis Died., Annls mycol. 10(2): 142

Notes: De Gruyter et al. (2009)showedthatAscochyta pisi,
the sexual state Didymella pisi and generic type of Ascochyta,
groups close to Didymella exigua (Niessl) Sacc., the type
species of Didymella. Peever et al. (2007)showedthatA.
pinodes L.K. Jones has Didymella sexual states (i.e. D.
pinodes (Berk. & A. Bloxam). Didymella exigua was not
linked with any Ascochyta spp., but it groups close to A. pisi
and other Ascochyta spp. Woudenberg et al. (2009)however,
also showed Phoma clematidina (Thüm.) Boerema also has a
Didymella sexual state. Further research is necessary, howev-
er, to resolve clades in the Didymellaceae. Because the phy-
logeny of Didymella and Ascochyta has yet to be resolved,
both genera are maintained for usage.
Ascoronospora Matsush., Matsush. Mycol. Mem. 10: 179
(2003)
Notes: Matsushima (2003) described the genus
Ascoronospora and observed the Coronospora asexual state
in culture. However, the link between Ascoronospora and
type species of Coronospora was not confirmed. Hence we
conclude Ascoronospora has coronospora-like asexual state.
Ascostratum Syd. & P. Syd., Annls mycol. 10(1): 41
(1912)
Notes: Tian et al. (2014)placedAscostratum in
Myriangiaceae based on the difference colour and shape of
the ascospores and their completely different habits.

accepted 16 genera. Furthermore, Lembosiaceae Hosag. and
Lembosiaceae Höhn. were treated as synonyms of
Asterinaceae. At the same time Hongsanan et al. (2014c)
transferred Aulographina to Teratosphaeriaceae and
Yamamotoa Bat. was listed as a synonym of Lembosia.

and Parmulariaceae was listed under Asterinales in Lumbsch
and Huhndorf (2010)butHongsananetal.(

Asterinema Bat. & Gayão, Anais IV Congr. Soc. bot.
Brasil: 160 (1953)
Notes: Wu et al. (2014) transferred this genus to Asterinaceae.
However, Hongsanan et al. (2014c) treated this genus as
Dothideomycetes, genera incertae sedis as the genus has char-
acters that are typical of Asterinaceae and Microthyriaceae.
Asterodothis Theiss., Annls mycol. 10(2): 179 (1912)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) transferred this genus
from Asterinaceae to Dothideomycetes,generaincertae sedis.
Astrosphaeriella Syd. & P. Syd., Annls mycol. 11(3):
260 (1913)
Notes: Tanaka and Harada (2005) observed a
pleurophomopsis-like conidial state in the cultures of A.
aggregata (I. Hino & Katum.) Kaz. Tanaka & Y. Harada.
However, molecular analysis has not been carried out for
Pleurophomopsis hence its taxonomic position remains
uncertain.
Aulographaceae Luttr. ex P.M. Kirk et al., Ainsworth &
Bisby's Dictionary of the Fungi Edn 9 (Wallingford): ix (2001)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) revised the family and
accepted six genera.
Aulographina Arx & E. Müll., Sydowia 14: 330 (1960)
Notes: Aulographina pinorum (Desm.) Arx & E. Müll., the
ex-type of Aulographina, clusters apart from A. eucalypti
(Cooke & Massee) Arx & E. Müll., which has Thyrinula
eucalypti (Cooke & Massee) H.J. Swart (type of Thyrinula)
as asexual morph (Carnegie and Keane 2003). Target spot of
Eucalyptus, should therefore more correctly be ascribed to T.
eucalypti rather than to Aulographina. Both genera,
Aulographina and Thyrinula should thus be retained.
Hongsanan et al. (2014c) transferred Aulographina from
Asterinaceae to Teratosphaeriaceae.

Austroafricana Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 25
(2014)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) introduced Austroafricana
to accommodate three teratosphaeria-like species as
Teratosphaeria associata (Crous & Carnegie) Crous & U.
Braun, T. keanei Carnegie & G.S. Pegg and T. parva (R.F.
Park & Keane) Crous & U. Braun, which are phylogenetically
distinct from Teratosphaeria sensu stricto in their molecular
data analysis.

nomic notes are provided in Thambugala et al. (2014a).
Barria Z.Q. Yuan, Mycotaxon 51: 313 (1994)
Notes: Hyde et al. (2013) listed this genus in
Phaeosphaeriaceae but Phookamsak et al. (2014)excluded
it based on morphological characters, and Ariyawansa et al.
(2014c)transferredBarria to Didymosphaeriaceae based on
morpholgy.
Bipolaris Shoemaker, Can. J. Bot. 37(5): 882 (1959)
=Cochliobolus Drechsler, Phytopathology 24: 973
(1934)
Notes: Manamgoda et al. (2012) resolved the complex of
Bipolaris,Cochliobolus and Curvularia and showed
Bipolaris to be the asexual state of Cochliobolus. At the same
time Manamgoda et al. (2012) proposed the use of Bipolaris
30 Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55
over the older Cochliobolus name stating the importance of
Bipolaris as an economically significant pathogen.
Manamgoda et al. (2012) also considered the number of
epithets under each genus to support their argument, with
Bipolaris having many more epithets than Cochliobolus.
Rossman et al. (2013) introduced their proposal to conserve
Bipolaris over Cochliobolus.
Blasdalea Sacc. & P. Syd., Syll. fung. (Abellini) 16: 634
(1902)
=Singeriella Petr., Sydowia 12(1–6): 252 (1959) [1958]
=Chrysogloeum Petr., Sydowia 12(1–6): 254 (1959)
[1958]
Notes: Petrak (1958) established the genus Chrysogloeum
to accommodate the conidial state of Singeriella Petr.
Singeriella was considered as a synonym of Blasdalea Sacc.
(Kirk et al. 2008) and as both genera are monotypic. Hence we
propose the oldest name Blasdalea over Chrysogloeum.
Botryochora Torrend, Brotéria, sér. bot. 12: 65 (1914)
Notes: Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010) listed this genus
under Dothioraceae (=Dothideaceae fide Thambugala et al.
2014a) but Thambugala et al. (2014a) excluded this genus
from Dothideaceae and placed in Dothideomycetes,genera
incertae sedis based on morphology.
Botryohypoxylon Samuels & J.D. Rogers, Mycotaxon
25(2): 631 (1986)
=Iledon Samuels & J.D. Rogers, Mycotaxon 25(2): 633
(1986)
Notes: Samuels and Rogers (1986) described the genus
Botryohypoxylon. Its coelomycetous asexual state was
observed in culture and described as Iledon. Both genera
are monotypic (Index Fungorum 2014, http://www.
indexfungorum.org/names/names.asp). In this case, we give
priority to the older sexual state and propose Botryohypoxylon
over Iledon.

Corda, the type species of Fusicoccum under Botryosphaeria
dothidea (Moug.) Ces. & De Not., the type species of
Botryosphaeria. Phillips et al. (2013) accept six species
of Botryosphaeria with Fusicoccum asexual morphs
based on culture and molecular studies. Botryosphaeria
was chosen over the older name Fusicoccum, as its
clearly defined, epitypified and commonly used in plant
pathological literature.

Notes: Moore (1962)establishedHiospira R.T. Moore to

Hiospira, the younger asexual typified name under Brooksia,
the sexual typified name.

Notes: Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010)referredthisgenus
to Dothideomycetes,generaincertae sedis however, Li et al.
(2014) reexamined the type species of Bryopelta and accepted
it as a genus in Mycosphaerellaceae.
Bryosphaeria Döbbeler, Mitt. bot. StSamml., Münch. 14:
151 (1978)
Notes: Li et al. (2014) referred Bryosphaeria in
Trematosphaeriaceae based on morphological similarities
with the generic type Trematosphaeria.
Camaroglobulus Speer, Bull. trimest. Soc. mycol. Fr.
102: 100 (1986)
Notes: Speer (1986)introducedCamaroglobulus to accom-
modate the conidial state of Mytilinidion resinae Speer. How-
ever, M. resinae was not confirmed as a Mytilinidion species
by molecular phylogeny. Therefore, we do not synonymize
Camaroglobulus under Mytilinidion and conclude that
Camaroglobulus has a mytilinidion-like sexual state.
Camarosporaceae Wijayawardene & K. D. Hyde (in prep.)
Notes: See notes under Camarosporium.
Camarosporium Schulzer, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien 20:
649 (1870)
Notes: Cortinas et al. (2006) showed that the type species,
C. quaternatum Schulzer grouped outside the
Botryosphaeriaceae. Liu et al. (2012), however concluded
placement of Camarosporium under Botryosphaeriales
incertae sedis. This genus has been considered as the asexual
state of Cucurbitaria (Doilom et al. 2013), hence a generic
revision for camarosporium-like coelomycetous fungi is re-
quired. However, Wijayawardene et al. (2014a)showedthat
Camarosporium sensu stricto groups in Pleosporinae,
Pleosporales. Furthermore, it shows cucurbitaria-like sexual
states (viz. Cucurbitaria elongata hence introduced as a new
combination of Camarosporium) (Wijayawardene et al.
2014c). Furthermore, Wijayawardene et al. (2014c)showed
that the genus Camarosporium is polyphyletic, and introduced
Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55 31
Paracamarosporium Wijayawardene & K.D. Hyde and
Pseudocamarosporium Wijayawardene & K.D. Hyde
(Montagnulaceae,Massarineae), while Crous et al. (2014)in-
troduced Neocamarosporium Crous & M.J. Wingf. Our phylo-
genetic analyses agree with Wijayawardene et al. (2014a,c)and
Wijayawardene et al. (in prep) introduced Camarosporaceae to
accommodate Camarosporium sensu stricto.
Capnodium Mont., Annls Sci. Nat., Bot., sér. 3 11: 233

(1846)
=Fumagospora G. Arnaud, Annals d'École National
d'Agric. de Montpellier, Série 2 10(4): 326 (1911)
Notes: Chomnunti et al. (2011)adoptedCapnodium,the
younger, but more widely used name over the older name,
Polychaeton, typified by species with an asexual morph type.
We also accept Capnodium as it has a larger number of
epithets (Index Fungorum 2014) and thus this approach re-
duces nomenclature changes. This selection was given as an
example of good practice in the Melbourne Code under Art.
57.2 (McNeill et al. 2012).
Caryophylloseptoria Verkley et al., Stud. Mycol. 75: 233
(2013)
Notes: Verkley et al. (2013) introduced this genus and
showed it belongs in Mycosphaerellaceae.
Catenulomyces E. Egidi & G.S. de Hoog, Fungal Diversity
65: 154 (2014)
Notes: Egidi et al. (2014) introduced this genus with C.
convolutus Egidi & de Hoog. as the type species. Molecular
analyses showed that this genus is related to Capnodiales,
genera incertae sedis (Egidi et al. 2014).
Celosporium Tsuneda & M.L. Davey, Botany 88: 472 (2010)
Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014a) treated this genus as
Dothideales, genera incertae sedis as the type species of
Celosporium,C. laricicola Tsuneda & M.L. Davey formed a
distinct clade in their molecular data analyses.
Cercospora Fresen., Beitr. Mykol. 3: 91 (1863)
Notes: Goodwin et al. (2001) and Crous et al. (2007,2009)
accepted that Cercospora has mycosphaerella-like sexual
states. However, Crous et al. (2009)restrictedMycosphaerella
sensu stricto to Ramularia sensu stricto and synonymised the
former under the latter genus. Thus, Cercospora is now rec-
ognized as a separate genus with mycosphaerella-like sexual
morphs (Crous et al. 2009,2013;Groenewaldetal.2013).
The case is discussed in detail by Braun et al. (2013).
Chaetocrea Syd., Annls mycol. 25(1/2): 18 (1927)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014b) excluded this genus
from Tubeufiaceae and placed in Dothideomycetes,genera
incertae sedis.
Chaetoplea (Sacc.) Clem., Gen. fung., Edn 2 (Minneapolis):
275 (1931)
Notes: Hyde et al. (2013) listed this genus in
Phaeosphaeriaceae but Phookamsak et al. (2014)excluded
it based on morphological characters and placed the genus in
Leptosphaeriaceae.
Chaetoscutula E. Müll., Sydowia 12(1–6): 190 (1959)
[1958]
Notes: Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010)placed
Chaetoscutula in Dothideomycetes, genera incertae sedis.
Based on morphological characters, Tian et al. (2014)trans-
ferred this genus to Pseudoperisporiaceae.
Chaetosphaerulina I. Hino, Bulletin Miyazaki Coll. Agric.
Forest. 10: 62 (1938)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014b) treated this genus as a
doubtful genera but listed under Tubeufiaceae.
Chaetothyriothecium Hongsanan & K.D. Hyde, Phytotaxa
161 (2): 161 (2014)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014b) introduced
Chaetothyriothecium as a new genus in Microthyriaceae
based on LSU data analysis. This familial placement agrees
with our molecular data analyses (Fig. 1).
Cladosporium Link, Mag. Gesell. naturf. Freunde, Berlin
7: 37 (1816) [1815]
=Davidiella Crous & U. Braun, Mycol. Progr. 2(1): 8
(2003)
Notes: Braun et al. (2003) proposed Davidiella to accommo-
date Cladosporium sensu stricto Schoch et al. (2006)introduced
the family Davidiellaceae to accommodate these two genera.
Bensch et al. (2012) and Crous et al. (2013) however, reinstated
Cladosporiaceae, which had been introduced in Nannizzi
(1934) and accepted Cladosporium as the family type. Hyde et
al. (2013) also accepted this arrangement. We therefore propose
using the oldest name Cladosporim over Davidiella. This makes
sense as Cladosporium has many more described species
(Bensch et al. 2012) and is well known amongst mycologists.
Clavatispora S. Boonmee & K.D. Hyde, Phytotaxa 176(1):
95 (2014)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014a) introduced this genus and
molecular phylogenetic analyses show it belongs in
Sympoventuriaceae,Ven t u r i a l e s . It has unusual alternaria-like
asospores.
Coccostromella Petr., Sydowia 21: 267 (1968) [1967]
Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014a) excluded this genus from
Dothideaceae and placed it in Botryosphaeriaceae as it has
filiform pseudoparaphyses and clavate to cylindro-clavate asci
and aseptate ascospores.
Colensoniella Hafellner, Beih. Nova Hedwigia 62:
160 (1979)
Notes: Based on morphological characters, Tian et al.
(2014) suggested to place Colensoniella in Patellariaceae
based on similarities in morphology.
Colletogloeum Petr., Sydowia 7(5–6): 368 (1953)
32 Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55
Notes: Sutton (1980) and Verkley and Priest (2000)report-
ed Colletogloeum to have mycosphaerella-like sexual morphs.
Although, morphologically, Colletogloeum and Phloeospora
Wallr. are quite similar, Quaedvlieg et al. (2013)acceptedboth
genera as legitimate names.
Comminutispora A.W. Ramaley, Mycologia 88(1): 132
(1996)
=Hyphospora A.W. Ramaley, Mycologia 88(1): 133
(1996)
Notes: When Ramaley (1996) established the genus
Comminutispora with C. agavacearum A.W. Ramaley, its
hyphomycetous asexual state i.e. Hyphospora (Hyphospora
agavacearum A.W. Ramaley) was observed in the culture. We
propose to accept the name of older sexual state viz.
Comminutispora over Hyphospora.
Coniothyrium Corda, Icon. fung. (Prague) 4: 38 (1840)
Notes: Coniothyrium was considered to be the asexual state
of Leptosphaeria,Mycosphaerella and Massarina (Sivanesan
1984). However, many species were removed from
Coniothyrium and included in other genera or upgraded to
generic level (Verkley et al. 2004,2014;Cortinasetal.2006).
De Gruyter et al. (2013) reinstated Coniothyriaceae
(Coniothyrium as family type), which was synonymized un-
der Leptosphaeriaceae (Kirk et al. 2008). Hyde et al. (2013)
recognized Coniothyriaceae as an accepted family.
Constantinomyces E. Egidi & S. Onofri, Fungal Diversity
65: 155 (2014)
Notes: The genus Constantinomyces was introduced by
Egidi et al. (2014)withC. virgultus Egidi & Onofri as the
type species. Multi-gene analysis of nu LSU, RPB2, ITS and
BT2 showed this genus clusters in Teratosphaeriaceae (Egidi
et al. 2014).
Coronospora M.B. Ellis, Mycol. Pap. 125: 16 (1971)
Notes: See notes under Ascoronospora.
Corynespora Güssow, Z. PflKrankh. PflPath. PflSchutz
16: 10 (1906)
Notes: Corynespora has been shown to be the asexual
morph of many genera (Seifert et al. 2011). Sivanesan
(1996)establishedCorynesporascaceae Sivan. to accommo-
date Corynespora and Corynesporasca Sivan. sexual states.
Tanaka et al. (2005)statedthatPleomassaria swidae Kaz.
Tanaka, Y. Harada & M.E. (Pleomassariaceae)hasa
Corynespora asexual state. Schoch et al. (2009)didnotin-
clude Corynesporascaceae in their phylogenetic analysis but
showed Corynespora to be polyphyletic. We conclude that
this genus requires more work to confirm its taxonomic posi-
tion and propose that the usage of the Corynespora and
Corynesporasca should be continued pending further studies.
Cucurbidothis Petr., Annls mycol. 19(3–4): 201 (1921)
Notes: After observing the paratype of the genus
Cucurbidothis,C. pityophila, Ariyawansa et al. (2014d)
proposed to maintain this genus as a separate genus in
Cucurbitariaceae.
Cucurbitaria Gray, Nat. Arr. Brit. Pl. (London) 1: 508, 519
(1821)
Notes: The link between Cucurbitaria and Pyrenochaeta
was discussed by de Gruyter et al. (2010). They accepted
Cucurbitaria berberidis (Pers.) Gray, the generic type of
Cucurbitaria as the sexual state of Pyrenochaeta berberidis
(Sacc.) Brunaud. In this study, they used the name C.
berberidis (CBS 363.93 and CBS 394.84), and this was
followed by de Gruyter et al. (2013). De Gruyter (2010)
further showed that C. berberidis grouped along with P.
nobilis De Not., the generic type of Pyrenochaeta.Doilom
et al. (2013) however, considered these two genera to be
distinct as P. nobilis De Not, the type species of Pyrenochaeta,
groups separate from Cucurbitaria berberidis (Pers.) Gray,
the type species of Cucurbitaria. We therefore propose the
continued use of Cucurbitaria and Pyrenochaeta pending
further studies.
Curvularia Boedijn, Bull. Jard. bot. Buitenz, 3 Sér. 13(1):
123 (1933)
=Pseudocochliobolus Tsuda, Ueyama & Nishih.,
Mycologia 69(6): 1117 (1978) [1977]
Notes: Manamgoda et al. (2012) confirmed the phylogenetic
relationship between Curvularia and Pseudocochliobolus and
proposed Curvularia to take priority. We agree with this as
Curvularia is the oldest and more commonly used name, which
is also used by plant pathologists (Monterio et al. 2003).
Cyclopeltis Petr., Sydowia 7(5–6): 370 (1953)
=Cyclopeltella Petr., Sydowia 7 (5–6): 373 (1953)
Notes: Cyclopeltella was described to accommodate the
conidial state of Cyclopeltis Petr. in the same publication, but
three pages after the sexual state was introduced (Petrak
1953). Cyclopeltis has more epithets than Cyclopeltella (Index
Fungorum 2014), hence we propose usage of the older name,
Cyclopeltis over Cyclopeltella.
Cyclothyrium Petr., Annls mycol. 21(1/2): 5 (1923)
Notes: Cyclothyrium was treated at subgeneric rank within
Cytoplea Bizz. & Sacc. by Petrak and Sydow (1927). Sutton
(1980)however,acceptedCyclothyrium as a distinct genus.
Sutton (1980) mentioned that Thyridaria rubronotata (Berk.
& Br.) Sacc. is the sexual state of Cyclothyrium juglandis
(Schum .ex Rabenh.) Sutton, which is the type species of
Cyclothyrium. This was accepted by Verkley et al. (2004)
and Damm et al. (2008) while de Gruyter et al. (2013)showed
its taxonomic placement in Pleosporales by analysis of SSU
rDNA sequence data. However, the type species of Thyridaria
is not linked to any Cyclothyrium species hence we conclude
that Cyclothyrium has thyridaria-like sexual states.
Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55 33
Cystocoleus Thwaites, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist., Ser. 2 3: 241
(1849)
Notes: Phylogenetic analysis showed C. ebeneusis not
close to lichenized members and rather belongs to
Capnodiales (Muggia et al. 2008). Following a phylogenetic
analysis, Hyde et al. (2013) suggested that Cystocoleus should
be placed in Capnodiales,generaincertae sedis.
Cytoplea Bizz. & Sacc., Atti Ist. Veneto Sci. lett. ed Arti,
Sér. 3 3: 307 (1885)
Notes: Hyde et al. (1996) showed by cultural methods that
Roussoella hysterioides (Ces.) Höhn. has a conidial state in
Cytoplea (i.e. C. hysterioides K.D. Hyde) and Hyde (1997)
recognized R. hysterioides as an accepted species in
Roussoella. Kang et al. (1998) confirmed this relationship
using molecular data and Verkley et al. (2004) accepted this
in the analyses of ITS and SSU sequence analyses. Liu et al.
(2014)listedCytoplea as a possible synonym of Roussoëlla.
However, this relationship must be confirmed by using the
type species of Cytoplea hence we propose the continued use
of Cytoplea and Roussoella pending further studies. Cytoplea
would have priority as it is the oldest genus and has higher
number of species epithets (Index Fungorum 2014) and higher
number of Google Scholar hits.
Dematiopleospora Wanasinghe et al., Crypto. Mycol. 35
(2): 110 (2014)
Notes: Wanasinghe et al. (2014) introduced
Dematiopleospora with D. mariae Wanasinghe et al. as the
type species. Combined gene analyses (LSU and SSU) shows
Dematiopleospora belongs in Phaeosphaeriaceae
(Wanasinghe et al. 2014).
Dermatodothella Viégas, Bragantia 4(1–6): 150 (1944)
Notes: Ariyawansa et al. (2013)placedDermatodothella in

subglobose ascostromata, with widely porate ostioles and its
similarities with other genera in this family.

Notes: Crous et al. (2013) introduced this monotypic genus
and placed it in Lophiostomataceae based on molecular data.
Diplodia Fr., Annls Sci. Nat., Bot., sér. 2 1: 302 (1834)
Notes: Phillips et al. (2008,2013) and Liu et al. (2012)
accepted this genus as a well-supported genus in
Botryosphaeriaceae based on their molecular-based analyses.
The type species of Diplodia,D. mutila Fr. has a
botryosphaeria-like sexual state, “Botryosphaeria stevensii”.
Diplotheca Starbäck, Botaniska Notiser: 30 (1893)
Notes: See notes under Myriangiaceae.
Dissoconiaceae Crous & de Hoog, Stud. Mycol. 64: 36
(2009)
Notes: Li et al. (2012) revised this family and their molec-
ular analyses show Dissoconiaceae comprises of four distinct
genera viz. Dissoconium,Pseudoveronaea,Ramichloridium
and Uwebraunia.

from Asterinaceae to Dothideomycetes,generaincertae sedis.
Dothideales Lindau, Nat. Pflanzenfam., Teil. I (Leipzig)
1(1): 373 (1897)
Notes: Based on molecular data analyses, Thambugala et
al. (2014a) have not treated Dothioraceae as a distinct family
in Dothideales and reduced it under Dothideaceae. They
accepted 15 genera in Dothideaceae.Furthermore,
Thambugala et al. (2014a)introducedAureobasidiaceae to
place Aureobasidium and other six genera.
Dothideaceae Chevall., Fl. gén. env. Paris (Paris) 1: 446
(1826); as ‘Dothideae’.
Notes: See notes under Dothideales and Thambugala et al.

Dothideopsella Höhn., Sber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-
naturw. Kl., Abt. 1 124: 70 (1915)
Notes: Dothideopsella shows similarities with
Phaeosphaeriaceae in having immersed ascomata with short
papillate ostioles, a peridium of pseudoparenchymatous cells,
cellular pseudoparaphyses and pale brown, septate ascospores
thus Ariyawansa et al. (2013) referred Dothideopsella to
Phaeosphaeriaceae.
Echidnodes Theiss. & Syd., Annls. Mycol. 15(6): 422
(1918) [1917]
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) accepted this genus as a
member of Aulographaceae.
Elsinoë Racib., Parasit. Alg. Pilze Java's (Jakarta) 1: 14
(1900)
=Sphaceloma de Bary, Ann. Oenol. 4: 165–167 (1874)
Notes: Sutton (1980) and Sivanesan (1984) stated that
Elsinoë is the sexual state of Sphaceloma, which has also
been well established based on different molecular studies
34 Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55
(Mchau et al. 1998; Swart et al. 2001; Cheewangkoon et al.
2009). Sphaceloma has a larger number of species epithets
(168) than Elsinoë (139) and is also the older genus. However,
the number of Google scholar hits of Elsinoë (3810) is higher
than Sphaceloma (2690). Elsinoë is also well established in
the plant pathological and plant breeder community (Wang et
al. 2009;Chung2011) hence Hyde et al. (2013)recognised
Elsinoë as the accepted name over Sphaceloma.
Elsinoaceae Höhn. ex Sacc. & Trotter, Syll. fung.
(Abellini) 22: 584 (1913)
Notes: Jayawardena et al. (2014) revised the family and
accepted only Elsinoë Racib. (=Sphaceloma de Bary) and
Molleriella G. Winter. Furthermore, Jayawardena et al.
(2014) excluded Hemimyriangium,Butleria,Micularia
(placed in Myriangiaceae), Saccardinula (placed in
Trichopeltinaceae), Hyalotheles Speg. (placed in
Dothideomycetes,generaincertae sedis), Beelia F. Stevens
&R.W.Ryan(Chaetothyriaceae)andXenodium Syd.
(Sordariomycetes,generaincertae sedis)fromElsinoaceae.
Englerula Henn., Bot. Jb. 34: 49 (1904)
Notes: See notes under Englerulaceae.
Englerulaceae Henn., Hedwigia Beibl. 43: 353 (1904)
Notes: Dai et al. (2014b) revised this family and accepted
Englerula,Goosia,Parenglerula,Rhytidenglerula,
Schiffnerula and Thrauste. Höhn. Thambugala et al. (2014c)
accepted Allosoma Syd. as a genus in this family.
Eriosporella Höhn., Sber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-
naturw. Kl., Abt. 1 125(1–2): 109 (1916)
Notes: Dai et al. (2014c) introduced a new species
Eriosporella i.e. Eriosporella bambusicola Dai et al. and
showed that this species is belonging to Capnodiales incertae
sedis in their molecular data analyses. However, Eriosporella
calami (Niessl) Höhn., the type species of Eriosporella was
not linked with any taxonomic level (Wijayawardene et al.
2012). Hence we conclude that Eriosporella sensu lato be-
longs to Capnodiales.
Eupelte Syd., Annls mycol. 22(3/6): 426 (1924)
Notes: See notes under Pirozynskia.
Eupenidiella Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 25
(2014)
Notes: The genus Eupenidiella was introduced to accom-
modate Penidiella venezuelensis Crous & U. Braun
(Quaedvlieg et al. 2014) since it is phylogenetically distinct
from Penidiella sensu stricto and is placed in
Teratosphaeriaceae by molecular data.
Eurytheca De Seynes, Bull. Soc. bot. Fr. 25: 88 (1878)
Notes: See notes under Myriangiaceae.
Euteratosphaeria Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 25
(2014)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) introduced
Euteratosphaeria to accommodate Mycosphaerella
verrucosiafricana Crous & M.J. Wingf., which clusters in
Teratosphaeriaceae. Euteratosphaeria is morphologically
similar to species of Teratosphaeria but phylogenetically
distinct.
Excipulariopsis P.M. Kirk & Spooner, Trans. Br. mycol.
Soc. 78(2): 251 (1982)
=Kentingia Sivan. & W.H. Hsieh, Mycol. Res. 93(1): 83
(1989)
Notes: Sivanesan and Hsieh (1989)establishedKentingia
to accommodate the sexual state of Excipulariopsis
narsapurensis (Subram.) Spooner & P.M. Kirk. Both genera
are monotypic and hence we propose to use the oldest name,
Excipulariopsis over Kentingia.
Exosporiella P. Karst., Finlands mögelsvampar, (Hypho-
mycetes fennici): 160 (1892)
=Anomalemma Sivan., Trans. Br. mycol. Soc. 81(2): 328
(1983)
Notes: Sivanesan (1983) introduced Anomalemma as a
new combination and at the same time confirmed the link
with its asexual morph Exosporiella. Each genus is monotypic
and herein we propose usage of the oldest name Exosporiella.
Exserohilum K.J. Leonard & Suggs, Mycologia 66(2):
289 (1974)
=Setosphaeria K.J. Leonard & Suggs, Mycologia 66(2):
294 (1974)
Notes: Exserohilum has sexual states in Setosphaeria.We
propose the usage of Exserohilum over Setosphaeria.
Exserohilum has more epithets (Index Fungorum 2014), and
is more commonly used in literature. Furthermore, several
Exserohilum species names are considered to be of important
quarantine significance (Takuya and Takao 2012), or of im-
portance in medical mycology (Adler et al. 2006).
Extremus Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 21 (2014)
Notes: Devriesia sensu stricto was shown to belong
in Teratosphaeriaceae, but D. adstricta and D.
antarctica grouped away from Teratosphaeriaceae
(Quaedvlieg et al. 2014). Hence the genus Extremus
was introduced (in Extremaceae) by Quaedvlieg et al.
(2014) to accommodate these two species as E.
adstrictus and E. antarcticus.
Extremaceae Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 21
(2014)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) introduced this family and
currently it comprises of five genera; viz Extremus,Petrophila,
Pseudoramichloridium,Staninwardia and Ve r m ic o n i a.
Farlowiella Sacc., Syll. fung. (Abellini) 9: 1100 (1891)
=Acrogenospora M.B. Ellis, Demat. Hyphom. (Kew):
114 (1971)
Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55 35
Notes: Ellis (1971,1976) stated that Farlowiella is the
sexual state of Acrogenospora. Schoch et al. (2009) accepted
Farlowiella as the sexual state of Acrogenospora and hence,
we propose usage of the oldest name, Farlowiella over
Acrogenospora.
Glaxoa P.F. Cannon, Syst. Ascom. 15(1–2): 122 (1997)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014b) transferred this genus to
Pleosporales,generaincertae sedis from Tubeufiaceae.
Goosia B. Song, Mycotaxon 87: 413 (2003)
Notes: See notes under Englerulaceae.
Grandigallia M.E. Barr et al., Mycotaxon 29: 196 (1987)
Notes: Based on similarities with Shiraia,Ariyawansaet
al. (2013) suggested that Grandigallia can be referred to
Pleosporales where it may be related to Shiraiacaeae.
Hadrospora Boise, Mem. N. Y. bot. Gdn 49: 310 (1989)
Notes: Hyde et al. (2013) listed this genus in
Phaeosphaeriaceae however, Phookamsak et al. (2014)ex-
cluded it based on morphological characters and placed it in
Trematosphaeriaceae.
Helicangiospora Boonmee et al., Fungal Diversity 68
(2014)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014b) introduced
Helicangiospora with H. lignicola Boonmee et al. as the type
species and showed it belongs in Tubeufiaceae in their mo-
lecular analyses.
Helicosporium Nees, Syst. Pilze (Würzburg): 68 (1816)
[1816–17]
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014b)showedthatTubeufia cerea
(Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Höhn. grouped with the type species of
Helicosporium,H. vegetum Nees in their molecular data anal-
yses. Based on this, we conclude that Helicosporium sensu
stricto has tubeufia-like sexual states.
Hemimyriangium J. Reid & Piroz., Can. J. Bot. 44: 650
(1966)
Notes: See notes under Elsinoaceae.
Heterospora (Boerema et al.) Gruyter et al., Stud. Mycol.
75: 18 (2012)
Notes: Heterospora was considered as a section of Phoma
(Boerema 1997) and the type of this section is P.
heteromorphospora. De Gruyter et al. (2013) showed by
phylogenetic analysis that this species is unrelated to two other
phoma-like genera (i.e. Plenodomus and Subplenodomus)in
Leptosphaeriaceae as well Phoma sensu stricto in
Didymellaceae. Hence, the section Heterospora was
upgraded to generic level and Phoma heteromorphospora
and P. dimorphospora were transferred to H. chenopodii
and H. dimorphospora respectively and palced in
Leptosphaeriaceae.
Hongkongmyces Tsang et al., Medical Mycology 52 (7):
740 (Tsang et al. 2014)
Notes: Tsang et al. (2014)introducedthismycelialfungal
genus, known to infect humans, and showed it belongs to
Lindgomycetaceae in their phylogenetic analysis.

Hyphoconis E. Egidi & W. Quaedvlieg, Fungal Diversity
65: 153 (2014)
Notes: Egidi et al. (2014) introduced this genus from a
culture and showed it belongs to Capnodiales incertae sedis
based on molecular data analysis of the combined data set of
nu LSU, RPB2, ITS and BT2. However the type species of
Hyphoconis,H. sterilis Egidi & Quaedvlieg lacks conidia or
chlamydospores and thus morphological characters are un-
known (Egidi et al. 2014).
Hysteropeltella Petr., Annls mycol. 21(1/2): 9 (1923)
Notes: Hysteropeltella shows similar characters with the
genera of Schizothyriaceae thus Ariyawansa et al. (2013)
tentatively referred Hysteropeltella in Schizothyriaceae.
Incertomyces E. Egidi & L. Zucconi Galli Fonseca, Fungal
Diversity 65: 157 (2014)
Notes: The genus Incertomyces was introduced by Egidi et
al. (2014) and shown to belong in Teratosphaeriaceae based
on analysis of combined LSU, RPB2, ITS and BT2 sequence
data.
Jaffuela Speg., Boln Acad. nac. Cienc. Córdoba 25: 39
(1921)
Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014a) excluded this genus
from Dothioraceae (=Dothideaceae fide Thambugala et
al. 2014a) and placed in Pseudoperisporiaceae based on
morphology.
Jahnula Kirschst., Annls mycol. 34(3): 196 (1936)
Notes: Sivichai et al. (2011) predicted that Jahnula
aquatica (Kirschst.) Kirschst., the type species of Jahnula
would prove to be the sexual state of Xylomyces
chlamydosporus Goos et al. the type species of Xylomyces
Goos et al., using a culture-based approach. However,
Campbell et al. (2007) and Suetrong et al. (2011)showed
that the link was not supported by molecular data analysis.
Hence, it is essential to carry out further molecular data
analyses by using different isolates of both genera.
Julella Fabre, Annls Sci. Nat., Bot., sér. 6 9: 113 (1879)
[1878]
Notes: Hyde et al. (2013) listed this genus in
Halojulellaceae but with uncertainty. However, Ariyawansa
et al. (2014c)transferredJulella to Didymosphaeriaceae.
Karschia Körb., Parerga lichenol. (Breslau): 459 (1865)
Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014b) transferred this genus
from Dothideomycetes incertae sedis to Lichenotheliaceae.
Kellermania Ellis & Everh., J. Mycol. 1(12): 53 (1885)
=Planistromella A.W. Ramaley, Mycotaxon 47: 260

=Septoplaca Petr., Sydowia 17: 271 (1964) [1963]
Notes: Ramaley (1993)introducedPlanistromella to ac-
commodate the sexual state of Kellermania. She recognized
Planistromella yuccifoliorum A.W. Ramaley and P.
uniseptata A.W. Ramaley as sexual state of Kellermania
yuccifoliorum A.W. Ramaley and K. yuccigena Ellis & Everh.
respectively. These links were confirmed by DNA sequence
analyses and accepted by Minnis et al. (2012) and Monkai et
al. (2013). Minnis et al. (2012) and Hyde et al. (2013)accept-
ed the oldest name i.e. Kellermania as the preferred name and
we agree with this conclusion.
Kirschsteiniothelia D. Hawksw., J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 91:182
(1985)
=Dendryphiopsis S. Hughes, Can. J. Bot. 31:655 (1953)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2012) found in their DNA sequence
analyses, that the type species of Kirschsteiniothelia,K.
aethiops (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) D. Hawksw. grouped with
Dendryphiopsis atra (Corda) S. Hughes, the type species of
Dendryphiopsis. The link had previously been confirmed by
Hughes (1978) from cultures of fragments of the ascomata. In
Index Fungorum (2014) there are 18 epithets for
Kirschsteiniothelia,whereasDendryphiopsis only has six epi-
thets. Further, asexual recombination not been established for
many species of Kirschsteiniothelia. If we choose
Dendryphiopsis it might result in more name changes than
Kirschsteiniothelia. Therefore, we propose to use
Kirschsteiniothelia over Dendryphiopsis, the former also being
better established in literature than Dendryphiopsis. [This deci-
sion means that the correct name for the type species becomes
Kirschteiniothelia atra (Corda) D. Hawksw., comb. nov.
(Mycobank no. MB804962; basionym: Dendryphion atrum
Corda, Icon. Fung. 4: 33, 1840; synonym: Dendryphiopsis
atra (Corda) S. Hughes, Can. J. Bot. 31: 655, 1953)]
Krishnamyces Hosag., Zoos' Print Journal 18(8): 1159
(2003)
Notes: Hosagoudar (2003) introduced the genus
Krishnamyces to accommodate the conidial state of
Rhytidenglerula tremae (Sydow) Arx. However, the current
name of Rhytidenglerula tremae is Schiffnerula trematis Syd.
(Species Fungorum 2014) and we conclude that
Krishnamyces has schiffnerula-like sexual states.
Lapidomyces de G.S. de Hoog & B. Stielow, Fungal Di-
versity 65: 159 (2014)
Notes: Egidi et al. (2014) introduced this genus in
Teratosphaeriaceae based on molecular data analysis. How-
ever Lapidomyces was described from a culture and lacks
distinguishing morphological characters (Egidi et al. 2014).
Lautitia S. Schatz, Can. J. Bot. 62(1): 31 (1984)
Notes: Phookamsak et al. (2014) excluded this genus from
Phaeosphaeriaceae based on its morphological characters and
placed in Dothideomycetes,generaincertae sedis.
Lecanosticta Syd., Annls mycol. 20(3/4): 211 (1922)
=Eruptio M.E. Barr, Mycotaxon 60: 437 (1996)
Notes: The sexual morph of Lecanosticta acicola is the
type species of Eruptio (E. acicola (Dearn.) M.E. Barr ≡
Mycosphaerella dearnesii M.E. Barr) (Barr 1996).
Lecanosticta acicola (=L. pini fide Crous et al. 2009), the type
species of Lecanosticta is reported as the asexual state of
Mycosphaerella dearnesii (Crous et al. 2009;Markovskaja
et al. 2011). The genus Lecanosticta is of quarantine concern
on conifers (Quaedvlieg et al. 2012). The older asexual
morph-typified name Lecanosticta has been prioritized by
Crous et al. (2009) and Hyde et al. (2013), as its well
establishedinliterature,andcommonlyusedbyplant
pathologists.

Notes: Several genera listed above were newly synony-
mized under Lembosia by Hongsanan et al. (2014c) who also
provided a generic revision.
Lembosiella Sacc., Syll. fung. (Abellini) 9: 1101 (1891)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) accepted this genus as a
member of Aulographaceae.
Lembosina Theiss., Annls mycol. 11(5): 437 (1913)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) accepted this genus as a
member of Aulographaceae.
Lembosiopsis Theiss., Annls mycol. 15(6): 422 (1917)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) transferred this genus to
Mycosphaerellaceae from Asterinaceae.
Leptosphaeria Ces. & De Not., Comm. Soc. crittog. Ital.
1(4): 234 (1863)
Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55 37
Notes: De Gruyter et al. (2009) and Aveskamp et al. (2010)
showed that some species of Phoma grouped in the family
Leptosphaeriaceae. However, de Gruyter et al. (2013)restrict-
ed Phoma sensu stricto for species in the Didymellaceae,
hence new combinations were introduced in phoma-like spe-
cies that grouped with Leptosphaeria doliolum (Pers.) Ces. &
De Not. the type species of Leptosphaeria.Therefore,the
usage of Leptosphaeria is maintained and asexual morphs
are considered phoma-like.
Leptosphaerulina McAlpine, Fungus diseases of stone-
fruit trees in Australia and their treatment: 103 (1902)
Notes: Roux (1986) reported that Leptosphaerulina
chartarum Cec. Roux was the sexual state of Pithomyces
chartarum (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) M.B. Ellis. However, these
species are not types of Leptosphaerulina or Pithomyces.
Leptosphaerulina australis McAlpine and Pithomyces flavus
Berk. & Broome are type species of these respective genera,
hence we do not reduce the younger sexual name to synony-
my under the older asexual typified name, and propose the
continued use of both names until the link between the type
species is proven by molecular data analyses. Recently,
Phookamsak et al. (2013) reported that Leptosphaerulina
saccharicola Phookamsak et al. has a pithomyces-like asexual
state based on cultural studies. Furthermore, Phookamsak et
al. (2013)showedthatLeptosphaerulina sensu stricto and
Pithomyces sensu stricto have distinct separate phylogenetic
affinities.
Letendraea Sacc., Michelia 2(no. 6): 73 (1880)
=Wilmia Dianese et al., Mycologia 93(5): 1014 (2001)
Notes: Ariyawansa et al. (2014c) treated Wilmia Dianese et
al. as a synonym of Letendraea Sacc.
Leveillella Theiss. & Syd., Annls mycol. 13(3/4): 284
(1915)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) transferred this genus
from Asterinaceae to Dothideomycetes,genera incertae sedis.
The asci are subglobose unlike most Asterinaceae, however
the brown conglobate ascospores, asci with a thick opaque
region and colonies are rather typical of Asterinaceae
(Hongsanan et al. 2014c).
Lidophia J. Walker & B. Sutton, Trans. Br. mycol. Soc.
62(2): 232 (1974)
Notes: Walker and Sutton (1974) introduced this genus
with Dilophospora Desm. (D. alopecuri (Fr.) Fr.) as its asex-
ual state. Their proposition was based on the psuedothecia of
L. graminis (Sacc.) J. Walker & B. Sutton mixed with
pycnidia of Dilophospora alopecuri. However this link was
not established by culture or molecular methods (Walker and
Sutton 1974), so both names should be retained until studies
confirm this link.
Lophiosphaerella Hara, Byogaichu-Hoten (Manual of
Pests and Diseases): 778 (1948)
Notes: Li et al. (2014) re-examined and illustrated
Lophiosphaerella euryae, the type species of
Lophiosphaerella and transferred it from Dothideomycetes,
genera incertae sedis to Mycosphaerellaceae.
Lucidascocarpa A. Ferrer et al., Mycologia 100(4): 642
(2008)
Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014a) excluded this genus from
Dothideaceae and placed in Dothideomycetes, genera
incertae sedis based on morphology.
Macowaniella Doidge, Bothalia 1(1): 9 (1921)
Notes: Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010) listed this genus
under Asterinaceae however; Hongsanan et al. (2014c)treated
it as a doubtful genus.
Macrodiplodiopsis Petr., Annls mycol. 20(5/6): 343 (1922)

Notes: Wijayawardene et al. (2014b)showedthatFloricola
and Misturatosphaeria grouped in a well-supported monophy-
letic clade with high bootstrap values in multi-gene analyses.
Hence, Wijayawardene et al. (2014b) transferred the type spe-
cies of Floricola,F. striata Kohlm. & Volkm.-Kohlm. to
Macrodiplodiopsis and other nine species of Misturatosphaeria.
Macrodiplodiopsis was used as it is the oldest name.
Maheshwaramyces Hosag., Indian Journal of Science and
Technology 2(6): 12 (2009)
Notes: Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010)listed
Maheshwaramyces under Asterinaceae however; Hongsanan
et al. (2014c) treated it as a doubtful genus.
Maireella Syd. ex Maire, Annls mycol. 6(2): 145 (1908)
Notes: Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010) placed the genus in
Dothideomycetes,generaincertae sedis. Maireella has simi-
larities with Venturiaceae and shares similar characters with
the type species of Venturia,thusLietal.(2014) referred
Maireella to Venturiaceae (Ve n t u r i a l e s).
Malacaria Syd., Annls mycol. 28(1/2): 69 (1930)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014b) excluded this genus
from Tubeufiaceae and placed in Dothideomycetes,genera

Notes: The genus Meristemomyces was introduced by
Egidi et al. (2014) and clustered in Teratosphaeriaceae in
their molecular analysis.
Metacapnodium S. Hughes & Corlett, N.Z. Jl. Bot. 10:
239 (1972)
Notes: The application of the earlier name Antennularia
Reichenb. (≡Antennaria Link, non Gaertn.) has recently
been clarified and found to apply to a species of
Metacapnodium (Hyde et al. 2013). As the generic name
Antennularia has not been adopted by modern authors,
while Metacapnodium is well-established, protection of
Metacapnodium is proposd.
Metameris Theiss. & Syd., Annls mycol. 13(3/4): 342
(1915)
Notes: Hyde et al. (2013) listed this genus under
Phaeosphaeriaceae but Phookamsak et al. (2014)excluded
it from Phaeosphaeriaceae and placed in Botryosphaeriaceae
based on morpholgy.

155 (2014)
Notes: Egidi et al. (2014) described Monticola with M.
elongata Selbmann & Egidi as the type species. Molecular
analysis shows Monticola belongs in Teratosphaeriaceae
(Egidi et al. 2014).
Morenoina Theiss., Annls mycol. 11(5): 434 (1913)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) accepted this genus as a

Mucomycosphaerella Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33:
22 (2014)
Notes: The genus Mucomycosphaerella (Capnodiales,
incertae sedis) was introduced by Quaedvlieg et al. (2014)
to accommodate Mycosphaerella eurypotami Kohlm. et
al. Mucomycosphaerella is morphologically and phylo-
genetically distinguished from Mycosphaerella sensu
stricto and there are no asexual states so far reported
(Quaedvlieg et al. 2014).

longs to Melanommataceae in their molecular phylogenetic
analyses and hence excluded it from Phaeosphaeriaceae.
Mycoporis Clem., Gen. fung. (Minneapolis) 50: 173
(1909)
Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014a) excluded this genus from
Dothideaceae and placed in Mycosphaerellaceae based on
morphology.
Myriangiaceae Nyl., Mém. Soc. Sci. nat. Cherbourg 2: 9
(1854)
Notes: Dissanayake et al. (2014) revised the family
Myriangiaceae and accepted only Anhellia,Ascostratum,
Butleria,Dictyocyclus,Diplotheca,Eurytheca,
Hemimyriangium,Micularia,Myriangium and Zukaliopsis

Myrtapenidiella Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 26
(2014)
Notes: The genus Myrtapenidiella was introduced by
Quaedvlieg et al. (2014)toaccommodatePenidiella corymbia
Cheew. & Crous and P. eucalypti Cheew. et al.
Myrtapenidiella and Penidiella share close morphological
characters but show distinct phylogenetic placements in
Teratosphaeriaceae (Quaedvlieg et al. 2014).
Navicella Fabre, Annls Sci. Nat., Bot., sér. 6 9: 96 (1879)
[1878]
Notes: Based on superficial globose to subglobose, co-
riaceous ascomata with long, trabeculate pseudoparaphyses
embedded in a gelatinous matrix and brown ascospores,
Ariyawansa et al. (2014d)assignNavicella to
Melanommataceae pending molecular investigation
Neoacanthostigma Boonmee et al., Fungal Diversity 68
(2014)
Notes: The generic name Neoacanthostigma is based
on the type species, N. fusiforme Boonmee et al. and is
a distinct genus in Tubeufiaceae (Boonmee et al.
2014b). Neoacanthostigma is morphologically similar
to Acanthostigma but phylogenetically distinct
(Boonmee et al. 2014b).
Neocamarosporium Crous & M.J. Wingf., Persoonia 32:

Fungal Diversity 68 (2014)
Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014a) introduced this genus
and showed it belongs to Dothideaceae,Dothideales.
Neodevriesia Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 24
(2014)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) showed that Devriesia
hilliana Crous & U. Braun and D. xanthorrhoeae Crous et
al. are phylogenetically distinct from Devriesia sensu stricto
(Mycosphaerellaceae) and hence introduced Neodevriesia
(Neodevriesiaceae)toaccommodatethem.
Neodevriesiaceae Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 24
(2014)
Notes: See notes under Neodevriesia.
Neohortaea Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 27 (2014)
Notes: The genus Neohortaea was introduced by
Quaedvlieg et al. (2014)toplaceHortaea acidophila Hölker
which has distinct phylogenetic lineage from Hortea sensu
stricto in Teratosphaeriaceae.
Neokalmusia Kaz. Tanaka et al., Fungal Diversity 68
(2014)
Notes: Ariyawansa et al. (2014c) introduced this genus to
accomodate Kalmusia brevispora and K. scabrispora in
Didymosphaeriaceae.
Neomycosphaerella Crous, Persoonia, Mol. Phyl. Evol.
Fungi 31: 195 (2013)
Notes: Crous et al. (2013)introducedNeomycosphaerella
with N. pseudopentameridis Crousasthetypespecies.
Neomycosphaerella is morphologically similar with
Mycosphaerella sensu stricto (i.e. Ramularia sensu stricto)
but lacks Ramularia asexual states. However,
Neomycosphaerella phylogenetically distinct from
Mycosphaerella and closer related to Brunneosphaerella
(Crous et al. 2013)
Neopenidiella Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 22
(2014)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) showed that Penidiella
nectandrae Crous et al. is not congeneric with Penidiella sensu
stricto thus introduced Neopenidiella in Mycosphaerellaceae.
Neophaeothecoidea Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33:
27 (2014)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) introduced
Neophaeothecoidea (Teratosphaeriaceae) to accommodate
Phaeothecoidea proteae Crous, which is phylogenetically dis-
tinct from Phaeothecoidea sensu stricto (Mycosphaerellaceae).
Neopseudocercospora Crous, Persoonia, Mol. Phyl. Evol.
Fungi 31: 219 (2013)
Notes: Crous et al. (2013) introduced this genus and
megablast results of LSU, SSU and ITS gene regions showed
it belongs in Mycosphaerellaceae.
Neoseptoria Quaedvlieg et al., Stud. Mycol. 75: 352
(2013)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2013) introduced this genus and
molecular data analyses showed it belongs in
Mycosphaerellaceae.
Neoroussoella J.K. Liu et al. Phytotaxa (2014)
Notes: See notes under Roussoellaceae.
Neotrimmatostroma Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33:
27 (2014)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) introduced
Neotrimmatostroma to accommodate two Trimmatostroma
species, viz. T. bifarium Gadgil & M.A. Dick and T.
excentricum B. Sutton & Ganap. However, only
Neotrimmatostroma excentricum (B. Sutton & Ganap.)
Quaedvlieg & Crous is shown to belong in
Teratosphaeriaceae.
Nigrograna Gruyter et al., Stud. Mycol. 75: 31 (2012)
[2013]
Notes: De Gruyter et al. (2013) introduced this genus and
showed it belongs in Pleosporales via molecular data
analyses.
Ochroconis de Hoog & Arx, Kavaka 1: 57 (1973)
Notes: Machouart et al. (2014)showedthatOchroconis de
Hoog & Arx belongs to Sympoventuriaceae (Ve nt u r i a l e s )in
their multi-gene analyses.
Oedohysterium E. Boehm & C.L. Schoch, Stud. Mycol.
64: 59 (2009)
Notes: Boehm et al. (2009)establishedOedohysterium and
mentioned the type species, O. insidens (Schwein.) E.W.A.
Boehm & C.L. Schoch had a Septonema spilomeum as asex-
ual state. However, Septonema was listed in Mytilinidiaceae
(Seifert et al. 2011). We conclude that Oedohysterium has a
septonema-like asexual state.
Oleoguttula L. Selbmann & G.S. de Hoog, Fungal Diver-
sity 65: 152 (2014)
Notes: The genus Oleoguttula was described by Egidi et al.
(2014) and belongs in Teratosphaeriaceae based on molecular
analysis.
Omphalospora Theiss. & Syd., Annls mycol. 13(3/4): 361
(1915)
Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014a) excluded this genus from
Dothideaceae and placed in Dothideomycetes, genera
incertae sedis based on morphology.

Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014c) excluded this genus
from Dothideaceae and placed in Teratosphaeriaceae
based on morphology.

Paracamarosporium Wijayawardene & K.D. Hyde,
Crypt. Mycol. 35 (2): 183 (2014)
Notes: See notes under Camarosporium.
Paracercospora Deighton, Mycol. Pap. 144: 47 (1979)
Notes: Stewart et al. (1999)reducedParacercospora to
synonym with Pseudocercospora. Crous et al. (2012)show
that Paracercospora is distinct from Pseudocercospora
in their molecular DNA analysis hence the genus was
reinstated.
Paraconiothyrium Verkley, Stud. Mycol. 50(2): 327
(2004)
Notes: See under Paraphaeosphaeria O.E. Erikss.
Paradendryphiella Woudenberg & Crous, Stud. Mycol.
75(1): 207 (2013)
Notes: Woudenberg et al. (2013) introduced this genus and
showed it belongs in Pleosporaceae via their molecular data
analyses.
Parahendersonia A.W. Ramaley, Aliso 14(2): 152 (1995)
Notes: Ramaley (1995)introducedParahendersonia A.W.
Ramaley to accommodate the coelomycetous asexual state of
Chaetoplea dasylirii A.W. Ramaley based on culture
methods. However, the relationship between C. dasylirii and
C. calvescens (Fr.) Clem. the type species of Chaetoplea
(Sacc.) Clem. is not confirmed. Hence we conclude
Parahendersonia has chaetoplea-like sexual states.
Paramycosphaerella Crous & Jol. Roux, Persoonia 31:
245 (2013)
Notes: Crous et al. (2013) observed that Paramycosphaerella
is morphologically similar to Mycosphaerella, but phy-
logenetically distinct from Mycosphaerella sensu stricto
andalsolacksaRamularia asexual morph. It is placed
in Mycosphaerellaceae.
Paranectriella (Henn. ex Sacc. & D. Sacc.) Höhn., Sber.
Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-naturw. Kl., Abt. 1 119: 899 (1910)
=Araneomyces Höhn., Sber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-
naturw. Kl., Abt. 1 118: 894 (1909)
Notes: Araneomyces was introduced as the asexual state of
Paranectria juruana Henn. by Höhnel (1909). Höhnel (1910),
however transferred Paranectria juruana into a new genus as
new combination and established Paranectriella (Henn. ex
Sacc. & D. Sacc.) Höhn. Hence Araneomyces was accepted as
the asexual state of Paranectriella (Sutton 1984;Wuetal.
1997). Although Araneomyces is the oldest name, it has fewer
epithets in Index Fungorum than Araneomyces and all
Paranectriella species are not linked with Araneomyces.Thus
we propose Paranectriella as the proposed name over
Araneomyces.
Paraphaeosphaeria O.E. Erikss., Ark. Bot., ser. 2 6: 405
(1967)
Notes: Verkley et al. (2004) described Paraconiothyrium
to accommodate coniothyrium-like fungi which are
phyllogenetically distinct from Coniothyrium palmarum,
the generic type of Coniothyrium. Verkley et al. (2004)
also showed that Paraconiothyrium groups with
Paraphaeosphaeria in their molecular data analysis. Fur-
ther, Damm et al. (2008) also showed that the type species
(Paraphaeosphaeria michotii (Westend.) O.E. Erikss. and
Paraconiothyrium estuarinum Verkley & M. da Silva) of
both genera cluster in same clade with other
Paraconiothyrium species. However, Verkley et al. (2014)
showed Paraconiothyrium estuarinum to represent a dis-
tinct phylogenetic linage from Paraphaeosphaeria michotii
in their multi gene analyses. At the same time Verkley et al.
(2014) introduced new combinations (as Paraphaeosphaeria
sporulosa and Para. minitans)forParaconiothyrium
sporulosa and P. minitans which cluster with
Paraphaeosphaeria. Hence we retain both genera i.e.
Paraconiothyrium and Paraphaeosphaeria, acknowledging
that Paraphaeosphaeria has paraconiothyrium-like asex-
ual states. Ariyawansa et al. (2014a,c) showed that
Paraconiothyrium brasiliense grouped with Didymosphaeria
rubi-ulmifolii (in Didymosphaeria sensu stricto) hence the
former name was synonymised under the later name. At
the same time, Ariyawansa et al. (2014c) reported the
sexual state of Paraconiothyrium fuckelii. Furthermore,
Ariyawansa et al. (2014c) established a new epitype for
Paraphaeosphaeria michotii.
Parasterinella Speg., Boln Acad. nac. Cienc. Córdoba
27(4): 382 (1924)
Notes: Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010) listed this genus
under Asterinaceae however; Hongsanan et al. (2014c)treated
it as a doubtful genus.
Parateratosphaeria Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 28
(2014)
Notes: The genus Parateratosphaeria is morphologically
indistinguishable from Teratosphaeria but distinguishable
with molecular data. Both genera group well in
Teratosphaeriaceae with distinct phylogenetic linages
(Quaedvlieg et al. 2014).
Parenglerula Höhn., Sber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-

Parmulariaceae E. Müll. & Arx ex M.E. Barr, Mycologia
71(5): 944 (1979)
Notes: See notes under Asterinales.
Perusta E. Egidi & B. Stielow, Fungal Diversity 65: 155
(2014)
Notes: Egidi et al. (2014) introduced Perusta,withP.
inaequalis Egidi & Stielow as the type species. Molecular
analysis of ITS sequences shows that it belongs to
Capnodiales,incertae sedis (Egidi et al. 2014).
Petrakina Cif., Annls mycol. 30(3/4): 225 (1932)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) transferred this genus
from Asterinaceae to Dothideomycetes,generaincertae sedis
Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55 41
because its copious pseudoparaphyses, fusiform asci and
muriform ascopores are atypical of Asterinaceae.
Petrophila G.S. de Hoog & W. Quaedvlieg, Fungal Diver-
sity 65: 152 (2014)
Notes: The genus Petrophila was introduced by Egidi et al.
(2014) and belonged in Teratosphaeriaceae sensu lato.How-
ever, Quaedvlieg et al. (2014)showedthatPetrophila was
more closely related with Extremus Quaedvlieg & Crous
(Extremaceae).
Phaeophleospora Rangel, Arquiv Mus. Nac. Rio de
Janeiro 18: 162 (1916)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) showed that three
mycosphaerella-like species cluster with Phaeophleospora
sensu stricto (Mycosphaerellaceae) in their molecular analysis
and introduced new combinations of Phaeophleospora to
accommodate Mycosphaerella gregaria,M. scytalidii and
M. stramenti.
Phaeosphaeria I. Miyake, Bot. Mag., Tokyo 23: 93 (1909)
=Phaeoseptoria Speg., Revta Mus. La Plata 15: 39
(1908)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2013)showedthatPhaeoseptoria
papayae Speg., the type species of Phaeoseptoria groups with
Phaeosphaeria oryzae I. Miyake, the type species of
Phaeosphaeria. Furthermore, they reduced Phaeoseptoria
under Phaeosphaeria as the latter sexual typified genus is
the widely used name. We also agree with the adopted name
i.e. Phaeosphaeria.
Phaeosphaeriaceae M.E. Barr, Mycologia 71(5): 948 (1979)
Notes: Phookamsak et al. (2014) revisited
Phaeosphaeriaceae and accepted 30 genera. Detailed taxo-
nomic notes for genera marked in
#
are provided in
Phookamsak et al. (2014).
Phloeospora Wallr., Flora Cryptogamica Germaniae 2: 176
(1833)
Notes: Crous et al. (2012) showed that the type species
of Phloeospora,P. u l m i (Fr.) Wallr. grouped in
Mycosphaerellaceae. However, Phloeospora is shown to be
polyphyletic by Quaedvlieg et al. (2011).
Phragmocapnias Theiss. & Syd., Annls mycol. 15(6): 480
(1918) [1917]
=Conidiocarpus Woron., Annls mycol. 24(3/4): 250
(1927) [1926]
Notes: Chomnunti et al. (2011) accepted that
Conidiocarpus is the asexual state of Phragmocapnias and
introduced new combination for the type species of
Conidiocarpus,(i.e.Conidiocarpus penzigii Woron.) as
Phragmocapnias penzigii (Woron.) Chomnunti & K.D. Hyde.
We accept this adoption and propose to use Phragmocapnias
as the accepted name.
Phyllosticta Pers., Traité Champ. Comest. (Paris): 55, 147
(1818).
=Guignardia Viala & Ravaz, Bull. Soc. mycol. Fr. 8: 63
(1892)
Notes: Glienke et al. (2011), Wikee et al. (2011) and Su and
Cai (2012) reconfirmed the well-established relationship be-
tween Phyllosticta and Guignardia with molecular data. All
the above publications use Phyllosticta over Guignardia.Liu
et al. (2012) showed in their multigene analysis that both these
genera have distinct phylogenetic relationships from other
accepted genera in Botryosphaeriaceae. Hence, Wikee et al.
(2013a,b) reinstated the family Phyllostictaceae to include
both of these genera. Since Phyllosticta is the oldest name, is a
more important pathogen, has more species and has been used
over Guignardia in recent publications (Wulandari et al. 2010;
Glienke et al. 2011; Wikee et al. 2011,2013a,b; Su and Cai
2012), we also propose using Phyllosticta over Guignardia.
Phoma Sacc., Michelia 2: 4 (1880), nom. cons.
=Phoma Fr., Nov. Fl. Suec.: 80 (1819), nom. rej.
Notes: Phoma is very important phytopathogen
(Aveskamp et al. 2010) and much research has been carried
out on this the genus which was established by Saccardo
(1880). Molecular based studies have shown that Phoma is
polyphyletic and scattered throughout Pleosporales
(Cucurbitariaceae,Didymellaceae,Leptosphaeriaceae,
Phaeosphaeriaceae and Pleosporaceae) (de Gruyter et al.
2009,2010,2013; Aveskamp et al. 2010). The type species
of Phoma,P. herbarum Westend. grouped in Didymellaceae
(de Gruyter et al. 2009), hence Pyrenochaetopsis Gruyter et al.
was introduced to accommodated phoma-like species in
Cucurbitariaceae (de Gruyter et al. 2009), while Setophoma
Gruyter et al., Neosetophoma Gruyter et al. and Paraphoma
Morgan-Jones & J.F. White were introduced to accommodate
phoma-like species in Phaeosphaeriaceae. Furthermore, de
Gruyter et al. (2013)raisedPlenodomus Preuss, Heterospora
(Boerema, Gruyter & Noordel.) Gruyter et al. to generic level
and introduced Subplenodomus Gruyter et al. to accommodate
phoma-like species in Leptosphaeriaceae.
Phragmoscutella Woron. & Abramov, Annls mycol.
24(3/4): 231 (1927) [1926]
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014a) excluded this genus from
Tricho pe ltinac eae and its placement is uncertain.
Pirozynskia Subram., Curr. Sci. 41(19): 711 (1972)
Notes: Subramaniam (1972)introducedPirozynskia to ac-
commodate the conidial state of the type species of
Maurodothina i.e. Maurodothina dothideoides (Ellis &
Everh.) Piroz. & Shoemaker (≡Asteridium dothideoides Ellis
& Everh.). Von Arx and Müller (1975)movedMaurodothina
dothideoides to Eupelte as a new combination i.e. Eupelte
42 Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55
dothideoides (Ellis & Everh.) Arx & E. Müll. However, there
is no established link between type species of Eupelte,Eupelte
amicta Syd. and Pirozynskia, hence wepropose the continued
use of both names until prove the links between two genera by
using molecular data analyses. Hongsanan et al. (2014c)
regarded Eupelte as a doubtful genus as they could not locate
good type material.
Pithomyces Berk. & Broome, J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 14: 100
(1873) [1875]
Notes: See notes under Leptosphaerulina.
Placoasterella Sacc. ex Theiss. & Syd., Annls mycol. 13(3/
4): 236 (1915)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) transferred this genus to
Parmulariaceae from Asterinaceae.
Placomelan Cif., Atti Ist. bot. Univ. Lab. crittog. Pavia, ser.
519:124(1962)
Notes: The type species of Placomelan,i.e.P. dipteridis
Cif. was the conidial state of Melanoplaca dipteris Syd. & P.
Syd. (current name Dothidasteroma dipteridis (Syd. & P.
Syd.) Arx. However, D. dipteridis is not the type species
hence we conclude Placomelan has dothidasteroma-like sex-
ual states.
Placosoma Syd., Annls mycol. 22(3/6): 302 (1924)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014c) transferred this genus to
Parmulariaceae.
Placostromella Petr., Sydowia 1(1–3): 9 (1947)
Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014c) examined and illustrated
Placostromella macrospora, the type species of
Placostromella and placed in Parmulariaceae based on its
morphology.
Planistroma A.W. Ramaley, Mycotaxon 42: 69 (1991)
Notes: Minnis et al. (2012) treated this genus as a synonym
of Kellermania.However,Monkaietal.(2013)recognized
Planistroma as a distinct genus in Planistromellaceae.
Platypeltella Petr., Annls mycol. 27(1/2): 62 (1929)
Notes: Wu et al. (2014) include this genus in Asterinaceae
based on superficial hyphae with intercalary capitate appres-
soria, and tis similar to Asterinella.
Pleiostomellina Bat. et al., Portug. acta biol., Sér. B 7(4):
373 (1964)
Notes: Ariyawansa et al. (2014d)referredPleiostomellina
to Parmulariaceae based on its solitary to gregarious, carbo-
naceous ascomata with multi-locules, fissitunicate, cylindrical
asci and dark brown to reddish brown, 1-septate, verrucose
ascospores.
Plenodomus Preuss, Linnaea 24: 145 (1851)
Notes: Boerema (1997)consideredPlenodomus as one of
the sections of Phoma and Phoma lingam (=Plenodomus
lingam) was considered to be the type species of Phoma
section Plenodomus; the sexual state was considered to be
Leptosphaeria maculans (Schoch et al. 2006; de Gruyter et al.
2009). De Gruyter et al. (2013) reinstated the genus
Plenodomus, and introduced new combinations for all
Leptosphaeria and Phoma species that grouped with
Plenodomus lingam. The renaming of Leptosphaeria
maculans as Plenodomus maculans was unfortunate, and
has caused ripples in the community working with
Brassica crops. Plenodomus maculans, however, is unre-
lated to the type of Leptosphaeria (=Leptosphaeria
doliolum (Pers.) Ces. & De Not.) and therefore L.
maculans could not be retained in Leptosphaeria under
any circumstances unless the type of Leptosphaeria was
changed. The species epithet, “maculans”is also unavail-
able in Leptosphaeria for the blackleg disease of canola,
as L. maculans (Sowerby) P. Karst. is a homonym of L.
maculans (Fuckel) Ces. & De Not.
Pleoseptum A.W. Ramaley & M.E. Barr, Mycotaxon 54:
76 (1995)
Notes: Hyde et al. (2013) listed this genus under
Phaeosphaeriaceae but Phookamsak et al. (2014)excluded
it from Phaeosphaeriaceae and placed in Pleosporaceae
based on morphology.
Plurispermiopsis Pereira-Carv et al., Mycologia 102(5):
1163 (2010)
Notes: Pereira-Carvalho et al. (2010) introduced this genus
and placed in Capnodiaceae based on morphology.

Notes: See notes under Astrosphaeriella.
Polyphialoseptoria Quaedvlieg et al., Stud. Mycol. 75: 355
(2013)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2013) introduced this genus
and molecular data analyses showed it belongs to
Mycosphaerellaceae.
Polythrincium Kunze, Mykol. Hefte (Leipzig) 1: 13
(1817)
=Cymadothea F.A. Wolf, Mycologia 27(1): 71 (1935)
Notes: Wolf (1935) established Cymadothea F.A. Wolf t o
accommodate the sexual state Polythrincium trifolii Kunze,
the type species i.e. of Polythrincium Kunze. Simon et al.
(2009) provided molecular proof for the link, while Hyde et al.
(2013) reduced the younger sexual typified name under older
asexual typified name.

pellier, série 2 16(1–4): 210 (1918) [1917]
Notes: The genus Leprieurina, (type species L. winteriana
G. Arnaud) was introduced to accommodate the conidial state
of the type species of Prillieuxina winteriana (Pazschke) G.
Arnaud, the type species of Prillieuxina.Hence,wepropose
use of the older name Prillieuxina over Leprieurina.
Hongsanan et al. (2014c) also agree with this adoption.

Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014a) accommodate this genus
in Dothideaceae but state that its placement is uncertain.
Prosthemium Kunze, Mykol. Hefte (Leipzig) 1: 17 (1817)
=Pleomassaria Speg., Anal. Soc. cient. argent. 9: (in
plate to p. 192) (1880)
Notes: Tanaka et al. (2010) showed that the type species of
Pleomassaria and Prosthemium (Pleomassaria siparia (Berk.
& Broome) Sacc. and P. betulinum Kunze respectively)
grouped together in a monophyletic clade in their molecular
analysis. Hence we propose toadopt the older asexual typified
name i.e. Prosthemium over younger sexual typified name i.e.
Pleomassaria.
Pseudocamarosporium Wijayawardene & K.D. Hyde,
Crypto. Mycol. 35 (2): 185 (2014)
Notes: See notes under Camarosporium.
Pseudocercospora Speg., Anal. Mus. nac. B. Aires, Ser. 3
13: 437 (1910)
Notes: Pseudocercospora wasshowntobeanasexual
state in Mycosphaerellaceae (Stewart et al. 1999;Crous
et al. 2009). Crous et al. (2009,2013), showed that
Mycosphaerella sensu stricto and Pseudocercospora
sensu stricto represent different phylogenetic linages,
and hence Pseudocercospora was accepted as distinct
genus with mycosphaerella-like sexual states. Implica-
tions of this decision is that the major pathogens of
banana, e.g. the Sigatoka disease complex, will be
known as P. fijiensis,P. e u m u s a e and P. m u s a e.
Pseudodidymella C.Z. Wei et al., Mycologia 89(3): 494
(1997)
=Pycnopleiospora C.Z. Wei et al., Mycologia 89(3): 496
(1997)
Notes: Wei et al. (1997) described Pseudodidymella as the
asexual state of Pycnopleiospora in the same publication as
introducing the sexual state. The link was based on co-occur-
rence of both states on same substrate and also confirmed in
culture(Weietal.1997). Hence we prioritize the first intro-
duced name Pseudodidymella over Pycnopleiospora.
Pseudofusicoccum Mohali et al., Stud. Mycol. 55: 249
(2006)
Notes: Hyde et al. (2013) listed this genus under
Botryosphaeriaceae and Slippers et al. (2013) and Phillips et
al. (2013) also showed Pseudofusicoccum groups in
Botryosphaeriaceae. However, the type species of
Pseudofusicoccum,P. stromaticum (Mohali et al.) Mohali et
al. groups in Phyllostictaceae in our analyses (Fig. 1).
Pseudoramichloridium Cheew. & Crous, Persoonia
23: 75 (2009)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) showed
Pseudoramichloridium grouped in Extremaceae in their mo-
lecular data analyses.
Pseudosydowia K.M. Thambugala & K.D. Hyde, Fungal
Diversity 68 (2014)
Notes: Crous et al. (2003) and Cheewangkoon et al. (2009)
showed that Sydowia eucalypti is linked to the asexual morph
Selenophoma eucalypti, and phylogenetically clusters with
other Aureobasidium and Hormonema species. However,
Thambugala et al. (2014c)showedthatSydowia eucalypti is
not congeneric with Sydowia sensu stricto (Dothideaceae)
and clustered in Aureobasidiaceae and hence introduced a
new genus Pseudosydowia to accommodate the taxon.
Pseudoteratosphaeria Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33:
29 (2014)
Notes: In morphology, Pseudoteratosphaeria is similar to
Teratosphaeria sensu stricto but has distinct phylogenetic
lineages in Teratosphaeriaceae.
Pseudotrichia Kirschst., Annls mycol. 37(1/2): 125 (1939)
Notes: Mugambi and Huhndorf (2009) included
Pseudotrichia under Melanommataceae while Hyde et al.
(2013)placeditinPlatystomaceae. Thambugala et al.
(2014b) assigned Pseudotrichia in Didymosphaeriaceae
(Montagnulaceae) based on morphology.
Pseudoveronaea Crous & Batzer, Persoonia, Mol. Phyl.

Notes: Li et al. (2012) introduced this genus with two
species and showed it belongs in Dissaconiaceae,
Capnodiales in their molecular data analyses.
Pycnoderma Syd. & P. Syd., Annls mycol. 12(6): 563 (1914)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014a) accepted Pycnoderma as a
distinct genus in Cookellaceae.

=Drechslera S. Ito, Proc. Imp. Acad. Japan 6: 355 (1930)
Notes: Shoemaker (1962) and Sivanesan (1984)statedthat
Pyrenophora has Drechslera asexual states. Crous et al.
(2011) and Ariyawansa et al. (2014b) showed with molecular
data that these genera group in the same clade. Although this
was not based on type species, all included species are
well-established taxa of these genera. Pyrenophora has more
epithets (199 fide Index Fungorum 2014, http://www.
indexfungorum.org/names/names.asp) and is the older name,
hence we propose to reduce Drechslera under Pyrenophora.
Furthermore, Pyrenophora is a generic name linked to
important diseases of barley, and wheat (Ellwood et al.
2010; Manning et al. 2013), and is well-established in the
plant pathology and plant breeder community.

Queenslandipenidiella Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia
33: 29 (2014)
Notes: The genus Queenslandipenidiella was introduced
to accommodate Penidiella kurandae Crous & J.K. Stone
by Quaedvlieg et al. (2014). Penidiella and
Queenslandipenidiella share a few common morpho-char-
acters, but group as distinct clades in Teratosphaeriaceae
(Quaedvlieg et al. 2014).

sents more than 40 diverse genera, distributed over several
different families. If Mycosphaerella wouldbechosenover
Ramularia, more than 500 new combinations would be re-
quired, whereas in choosing Ramularia, no new names are
required, as all established connections already have species
names in Ramularia. This adoption was accepted by Hyde et
al. (2013).
Ramimonilia B. Stielow. & W. Quaedvlieg, Fungal Diver-
sity 65: 155 (2014)
Notes: Egidi et al. (2014)introducedRamimonilia with R.
apicalis Stielow & Quaedvlieg as the type species. Molecular
data analysis shows that Ramimonilia belongs in
Capnodiales,incertae sedis (Egidi et al. 2014).
Ramopenidiella Crous & R.G. Shivas, Persoonia, Mol.
Phyl. Evol. Fungi 32: 207 (2014)
Notes: The genus Ramopenidiella was introduced by
Crous et al. (2014)withR. cycadicola Crous & R.G. Shivas
as the type species. Ramopenidiella is morphologically and
phylogenetically distinct from Penidiella sensu stricto but
both genera belong to Teratosphaeriaceae (Crous et al. 2014).

Notes: Crous et al. (2009) accepted that Cibiessia is the
synasexual morph of Readeriella. Furthermore, Crous et al.
(2009) showed that Nothostrasseria has similar conidiogenesis
to Readeriella and reduced the genus to synonymy under
Readeriella. Hence, we accept Cibiessia and Nothostrasseria
as synonyms of Readeriella.
Rebentischia P. Karst., Fungi Fenniae Exsiccati, Fasc. 9:

Notes: Rhexotexis may be a synonym of Asterotexis
(Hongsanan et al. 2014c).
Roussoellaceae J.K. Liu et al., Phytotaxa 181: 1–33
Notes: Liu et al. (2014)introducedRoussoellaceae based
on Roussoella Sacc. as the type genus. This family currently
comprises four genera viz. Cytoplea,Neoroussoella,
Roussoella and Roussoellopsis. Nevertheless, Liu et al.
(2014)listedCytoplea as a possible synonym of Roussoella
but we keep Cytoplea as a distinct genus in Roussoellaceae
(See notes under Cytoplea).
Ruptoseptoria Quaedvlieg et al., Stud. Mycol. 75: 356

Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2013)introducedRuptoseptoria
and molecular data analyses showed it belongs in
Mycosphaerellaceae.

Notes: Batzer et al. (2008)showedthatSchizothyrium pomi
(Mont. & Fr.) Arx grouped with Zygophiala spp. in their
phylogenetic analysis of LSU rDNA sequence data. However,
none of species included in their phylogenetic analysis, are the
Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55 45
type species of their respective genera. However, the connec-
tion between Schizothyrium (1849) and Zygophiala (1945)
appears to be well-established in culture, and if this is the case
for the type species, preference should be given to the older
name, Schizothyrium.
Sclerophoma Höhn., Sber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-
naturw. Kl., Abt. 1 118: 1234 (1909)
Notes: Sutton (1980) and Sivanesan (1984) stated that
Sclerophoma pythiophila (Cda) Höhn. is an asexual state of
Sydowia polyspora (Bref. & Tavel) E. Müll. However, this
link has not been confirmed by molecular sequence data
analyses. Hence, we propose to retain Sclerophoma until its
link with Sydowia polyspora is confirmed.
Scolicosporium Lib. ex Roum., Fungi Selecti Galliaei
Exs.: no. 676 (1880)
Notes: Spooner and Kirk (1982)statedthatAsteromassaria
macrospora (Desm.) Höhn. (Pleomassariaceae) is the sexual
state of the type species of Scolicosporium i.e. S.
macrosporium (Berk.) B. Sutton. Wijayawardene et al.
(2013), however, showed that Scolicosporium minkeviciusii
Treigienėbelongs in Phaeosphaeriaceae in their molecular
analyses. Hence, the type species of the genus needs re
collecting and sequence to confirm its correct taxonomic
placement.
Selenophoma Maire, Bull. Soc. bot. Fr. 53: clxxxvii (1907)
Notes: Crous et al. (2003) linked Selenophoma eucalypti to
Sydowia eucalypti based on culture studies, while
Cheewangkoon et al. (2009) also confirmed thistaxon to have
a coniothyrium-like synasexual morph. Tsuneda et al. (2010)
showed that Discosphaerina fagi (H.J. Huds.) M.E. Barr
grouped with Selenophoma mahoniae A.W. Ramaley in their
molecular analysis. Selenophoma is clearly paraphyletic, and
we therefore retain Selenophoma until its type species (S.
catananches) has been recollected and subjected to molecular
data analysis.
Septoria Sacc., Syll. fung. (Abellini) 3: 474 (1884)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2013)revisedthegenusSeptoria
and showed it is polyphyletic in their molecular data
analyses. Hence, several new genera have been introduced
(e.g. Cylindroseptoria in Dothideaceae;Ruptoseptoria in
Mycosphaerellaceae) to place septoria-like taxa. Septoria
remained in Mycosphaerellaceae.
Septorioides Quaedvlieg et al., Stud. Mycol. 75: 383
(2013)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2013)introducedSeptorioides
and molecular data analyses showed it belongs to
Botryosphaeriaceae.
Setophaeosphaeria Crous & Y. Zhang ter, Persoonia, Mol.
Phyl. Evol. Fungi 32: 271 (2014)
Notes: Crous et al. (2014) introduced this genus with two
species, (i.e. Setophaeosphaeria badalingensis,S.
hemerocallidis) and with new combination (i.e. S. vernoniae).
Based on molecular data blast searches, Crous et al. (2014)
placed this genus in Phaeosphaeriaceae. However, Phookamsak
et al. (2014) show the type species Setophaeosphaeria
hemerocallidis forms a clade outside Phaeosphaeriaceae,close
to Cucurbitariaceae,whileSp. badalingensis clusters with
Phaeosphaeria sensu stricto in Phaeosphaeriaceae.
Shearia Petr., Annls mycol. 22(1/2): 180 (1924)
Notes: Shearia was reported as the asexual morph of
Pleomassaria Speg. by Sutton (1980). Shearia acericola Petr.
was proposed to be the asexual state of Pleomassaria
acericola Petr. by Petrak (1952) as conidiomata and ascomata
co-occurred on the same substrate. Petrak (1962) revised the
genus and Sutton (1980) accepted this revision by mentioning
that Shearia formosa is the asexual state of Pleomassaria
magnolia Shear. These links have not been confirmed by
molecular data, hence we conclude that Shearia has a
pleomassaria-like sexual state. However, Pleomassaria sensu
stricto is linked with Prosthemium sensu stricto by Tanaka et
al. (2010). Thus placement of this genus is uncertain.
Sphaeropsis Sacc., Michelia 2: 105 (1880)
=Phaeobotryosphaeria Speg., Ann. Inst. Rech. Agron.
17, 10: 120 (1908)
Notes: Phillips et al. (2008) established the connection
between the asexual and sexual morphs of Sphaeropsis visci,
the type species of Sphaeropsis,S. visci (Alb. & Schwein.)
Sacc. Phillips et al. (2013)consideredSphaeropsis to be more
suitable than Phaeobotryosphaeria, since it is the oldest name
and is the name most used in the literature.
Sphaerulina Sacc., Michelia 1(no. 4): 399 (1878)
Notes: In their molecular data analyses, Quaedvlieg et al.
(2013)showedthatSphaerulina is a distinct genus in
Mycosphaerellaceae but very closely related to Septoria sensu
stricto. Furthermore, they show several septoria-like taxa also
grouped in Sphaerulina sensu stricto clade hence they intro-
duced several new combinations.
Stagonospora (Sacc.) Sacc., Syll. fung. (Abellini) 3: 445
(1884)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2013)showedthatStagonospora
sensu stricto belongs in Massarinaceae in their molecular data
analyses.
Staninwardia B. Sutton, Trans. Br. mycol. Soc. 57(3): 540
(1971)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) showed Staninwardia
grouped in Extremaceae in their molecular data analyses.
Stemphylium Wallr., Fl. crypt. Germ. (Nurmberg) 2: 300
(1833)
=Pleospora Rabenh. ex Ces. & De Not., Comm. Soc.
crittog. Ital. 1(4): 217 (1863)
Notes: The genus Stemphylium is preferred over Pleospora
as Stemphyllium is the older name and has priorty, is better
46 Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55
established in the literature (more than double the number
of hits for Stemphylium in Google Scholar), and the genus
is well-known to the plant pathology community, and is
well circumscribed at the molecular level (Lawrence et al.
2012). Although there are more species epithets in
Pleospora, most appear to belong to other genera, as
many genera form pleospora-like sexual morphs (e.g.
Lewia, linked to Alternaria). Stemphylium, however, is
unique, and its conidium and conidiogenous morphology
can in combination not easily be confused with say
Alternaria, which is the genus morphologically most sim-
ilar to it. Many serious diseases are known to be caused
by Stemphylium species (purple spot of Asparagus,brown
spot of barley, Stemphylium leaf blight of cotton, brown
spot disease of pears, leaf spot disease of spinach, leaf
spot and foliar blight of tomato), whereas these diseases
are not clearly linked to Pleospora names. More than
2300 records are linked to “Stemphylium disease”in the
CABI direct database.
Stephanotheca Syd. & P. Syd., Philippine Journal of Sci-
ence Section C Botany 9 (2): 178 (1914) Notes: Jayawardena
et al. (2014) accepted this genus as Asterinaceae. However,
Hongsanan et al. (2014b) did not recognize Stephanotheca as
agenusinAsterinaceae.
Suberoteratosphaeria Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33:
31 (2014)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) introduced this genus in
Teratosphaeriaceae with S. suberosa (Crous et al.) Quaedvlieg
& Crous as the type species. Suberoteratosphaeria is morpho-
logically quite similar to Teratosphaeria sensu stricto but
able to distinguish by colony and ascospore characters
(Crous et al. 2014).
Stromatoseptoria Quaedvlieg et al., Stud. Mycol. 75: 373
(2013)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2013) introduced
Stromatoseptoria and molecular data analyses showed it be-
longs to Mycosphaerellaceae.
Subplenodomus Gruyter et al., Stud. Mycol. 75: 23 (2013)
Notes: This genus was introduced by de Gruyter et al.
(2013) to accommodate four phoma-like species grouped in
Leptosphaeriaceae, but separate from the clade in which
Plenodomus rabenhorstii Preuss (=Plenodomus lingam
(Tode: Fr.) Höhn., type species of Plenodomus) is placed.
The name is therefore used for phoma-like species in
Leptosphaeriaceae which differ from Plenodomus based on
combined LSU and ITS rDNA analysis.
Sydowia Bres., Hedwigia 34 (Beibl.): 66 (1895)
Notes: Bills et al. (2004) showed that the type species of
Hormonema,H. dematioides Lagerb. & Melin grouped with
Sydowia polyspora (Bref. & Tavel) E. Müll. in their molecular
data analysis. Sydowia, however, is polyphyletic (Crous et al.
2003), and hence it is best to retain Hormonema as separate
from Sydowia until the type species, S. gregaria, has been
recollected and subjected to DNA analysis. For further taxo-
nomic notes, see Thambugala et al. (2014c).
Syncarpella Theiss. & Syd., Annls mycol. 13(5/6): 631
(1915)
Notes: Ramaley and Barr (1997) described Syntholus A.W.
Ramaley & M.E. Barr to accommodate the conidial state of
Syncarpella ribis A.W. Ramaley & M.E. Barr i.e. Syntholus
ribis A.W. Ramaley & M.E. Barr. However the relationship
between Syntholus tumefaciens (Ellis & Harkn.) Theiss. &
Syd. the type species of Syncarpella and Syntholus ribis has
not been confirmed by molecular data. Hence we conclude
that Syncarpella has syntholus-like asexual states and propose
continued use of both generic names.
Teratosphaeria Syd. & P. Syd., Annls mycol. 10(1): 39

=Kirramyces J. Walker et al., Mycol. Res. 96(11): 919
(1992)
Notes: Crous et al. (2009) accepted that Te ra tosphaeria
sensu stricto has Colletogloeopsis and Kirramyces asexual
states. Hence we propose touse the older sexual typified name
Teratospha eria over Colletogloeopsis and Kirramyces.
Teratosphaericola Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 32
(2014)
Notes: The genus Teratosphaericola was introduced by
Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) to accommodate Teratosphaeria
pseudoafricana (Crous & T.A. Cout.) Crous & U. Braun.
Teratosphaericola is morphologically similar to Ter at o s p h a e r i a
sensu stricto thus can only be distinguished based on DNA
phylogeny.
Teratosphaeriopsis Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 33
(2014)
Notes: The genus Teratosphaeriopsis was introduced by
Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) to place Teratosphaeriopsis
pseudoafricana Quaedvlieg & Crous which is morphological-
ly similar to Teratosphaeria sensu stricto. Hence,
Teratosphaeriopsis and Terato sp h a e r i a are can only be dis-
tinguished via phylogenetic data.

Notes: Tanaka et al. (2009) introduced the family
Tetraplosphaeriaceae to place Tetraploa sensu stricto,and
its newly introduced sexual state Tetraplosphaeria. Tanaka
et al. (2009) clearly showed that T. aristata Berk. & Broome,
the type species of Tet r a p l o a , grouped closely with

Notes: Subramanian and Sekar (1982) observed with
moorella-like asexual morph in Thaxteriellopsis lignicola
Sivan. et al. However, the authors (i.e. Subramanian and
Sekar 1982) referred to the asexual genus and did not
identify it to species level. Thus, we do not synonymize
Thaxteriellopsis under Moorella. Boonmee et al. (2014b)
accepted Thaxteriellopsis as a genus in Tubeufiaceae and
provide detailed taxonomic notes and illustrations.

Thyrostroma Höhn., Sber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-
naturw. Kl., Abt. 1 120: 472 (1911)
Notes: Ramaley (2005) and Phillips et al. (2008)showed
that Dothidotthia symphoricarpi (Rehm) Höhn., the generic
type of Dothidotthia has a Thyrostroma asexual morph (i.e.
Thyrostroma negundinis (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) A.W.
Ramaley). This was confirmed by Seifert et al. (2011). How-
ever, no link has thus far been established between the type
species of Thyrostroma and Dothidotthia. Hence we propose
to continued use of both names until above mentioned links
are proven. If shown to be synonymous, preference would be
given to Thyrostroma, which is the older genus, with the
majority of species names. Phillips et al. (2008) placed this
genus in Dothidotthiaceae.

accepted six genera viz. Acrogenotheca,Brefeldiella,
Saccardinula,Trichopeltina,Trichopeltheca and
Trichopeltella. Furthermore, Hongsanan et al. (2014a)
treated Brefeldiellaceae E. Müll. & Arx as a synonym of

Trichopeltospora Bat. & Cif., Publicações Inst. Micol.
Recife 90: 17 (1958)
Notes: Wu et al. (2011) stated the placement of this genus
in Asterinaceae is uncertain. However, Hongsanan et al.
(2014c)referredTrichope ltospo ra to Asterinaceae.
Trichothyrinula Petr., Sydowia 4(1–6): 171 (1950)
Notes: Hongsanan et al. (2014a) mentioned that the
placement of this genus in Trichopeltinaceae is uncer-
tain and suggested that a new family might be needed
to accommodate it.
Tubeufiaceae M.E. Barr, Mycologia 71(5): 948 (1979)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014b) revised the family
Tubeufiaceae and accepted 19 genera. Boonmee et al.
(2014b) also illustrated and redescribed most of the genera
and provided detailed taxonomic notes for each genus. Notes
for genera marked with a
#
are provided in Boonmee et al.
(2014b).
Tubeufiales S. Boonmee & K.D. Hyde, Fungal Diversity
68 (2014)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014b)raisedTubeufiaceae as an
order and currently it comprises one family.
Uredinophila Rossman, Mycol. Pap. 157: 43 (1987)
Notes: Boonmee et al. (2014b) excluded this genus from
Tubeufiaceae and placed in Dothideomycetes,generaincertae
sedis.
Uwebraunia Crous & M.J. Wingf., Mycologia 88(3): 446
(1996)
Notes: Species of Uwebraunia have mycosphaerella-like
sexual morphs, are pathogenic on Eucalyptus spp. (Crous et
al. 2004), but are also associated with sooty blotch and
flyspeck syndromes on apples (Li et al. 2012). They are
morphologically similar to species of Dissoconium, which
are normally mycophylic on Erysiphaceae (de Hoog et al.
1991). Species of Dissoconium have large, obclavate to
ellipsoid microconidia, and produce sclerotia in culture.
Uwebraunia, on the other hand, has small, pyriform
microconidia and does not form sclerotia in culture (Li
et al. 2012).
Ver m i c on i a E. Egidi & S. Onofri, Fungal Diversity 65: 150
(2014)
Notes: The genus Ver m i c o n i a was introduced by Egidi et
al. (2014) and shown to belong in Teratosphaeriaceae sensu
48 Fungal Diversity (2014) 69:1–55
lato. However, Quaedvlieg et al. (2014)showedthisgenusto
belong in the new family Extremaceae.
Vishnumyces Hosag., Indian Phytopath. 63(1): 85 (2010)
Notes: Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010) listed this genus
under Asterinaceae however; Hongsanan et al. (2014c)treated
it as a doubtful genus.
Vizellopsi s Bat. et al., Publções Inst. Micol. Recife 637: 5
(1969)
Notes: The monotypic genus Vizellopsis was introduced by
Batista et al. (1969) and is typified by V. grevilleae Bat. Batista
et al. (1969) placed Vizel l o psis in the family Microthyriaceae,
according to the black, circular, flattened thyriothecia. Lumbsch
and Huhndorf (2010) included this genus as Dothideomycetes,
genera incertae sedis, as the morphological characters are not
similar to Microthyriaceae. Based on morphological characters
of the type species of Vizellopsis,V. grevilleae Bat., Dai et al.
(2014a) placed this genus in Asterinaceae and this was
followed by Hongsanan et al. (2014c).
Wiesneriomycetaceae Suetrong et al., Phytotaxa 176 (1):
285 (2014)
Notes: Suetrong et al. (2014) introduced this family to
place Wiesneriomyces which forms a distinct clade close to
Tubeufia les.
Wojnowicia Sacc., Syll. fung. (Abellini) 10: 328 (1892)
Notes: De Gruyter et al. (2009) showed the type species of
Wojnowicia,W. hirta (J. Schröt.) Sacc. groups with
Ophiosphaerella herpotricha (Fr.) J. Walker in their LSU and
SSU rDNA sequence analyses. However, there are no sequences
of the type species of Ophiosphaerella (Ophiosphaerella
graminicola Speg.) in GenBank, hence the link between
Ophiosphaerella sensu stricto and Wojnowicia has not yet been
proven. The use of Ophiosphaerella and Wojnowicia is therefore
retained pending further studies. We conclude that Wojnowicia
has ophiosphaerella-like sexual states.
Xenobotryosphaeria Quaedvlieg et al., Stud. Mycol. 75:
374 (2013)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2013) introduced this genus and
showed it belongs in Pleosporales, genera incertae sedis.
Xenomycosphaerella Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33:
24 (2014)
Notes: Mycosphaerella elongata Crous & M.J. Wingf.,
introduced by Crous et al. (2007) is distinct from
Mycosphaerella sensu stricto and hence Quaedvlieg et al.
(2014)introducedXenomycosphaerella to accommodate
Mycosphaerella elongata as Xenomycosphaerella elongata
(Crous & M.J. Wingf.) Quaedvlieg & Crous.
Xenopenidiella Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33: 33
(2014)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014)showedthatPenidiella
rigidophora Crous et al. is not congeneric with Penidiella sensu
stricto, hence Xenopenidiella was introduced to accommodate
the taxon. Penidiella and Xenopenidiella are morphologically
quite similar, but they are phylogenetically distinct.
Xenoteratosphaeria Quaedvlieg & Crous, Persoonia 33:
34 (2014)
Notes: The genus Xenoteratosphaeria was introduced to
accommodate Teratosphaeria jonkershoekensis (P.S. van
Wyk et al.) Crous & U. Braun. Teratosphaeria and
Xenoteratosphaeria share close morphologies but are phylo-
genetically distinct.
Xenostigmina Crous, Mycol. Mem. 21: 154 (1998)
Notes: Phookamsak et al. (2014) showed Xenostigmina
belongs to Melanommataceae in their molecular phylogenetic
analyses and hence they excluded the genus from
Phaeosphaeriaceae.
Yoshinagaia Henn., Hedwigia 43: 143 (1904)
Notes: Thambugala et al. (2014a) excluded this genus from
Dothideaceae and placed in Dothideomycetes genera incertae
sedis based on morphology.
Zasmidium Fr., Summa veg Scand. 2: 407 (1849)
Notes: Quaedvlieg et al. (2014)showedthat
Mycosphaerella eucalyptorum Crous & M.J. Wingf. is phy-
logenetically close to Zasmidium sensu stricto and introduced
the new combination, Z. eucalyptorum (Crous & M.J. Wingf.)
Quaedvlieg & Crous.
Zukaliopsis Henn., Hedwigia 43: 367 (1904)
Notes: See notes under Myriangiaceae.
Zygophiala E.W. Mason, Mycol. Pap. 13: 3 (1945)
Notes: See notes under Schizothyrium.
Zymoseptoria Quaedvl. & Crous, Persoonia, Mol. Phyl.
Evol. Fungi 26: 64 (2011)
Notes: The genus Zymoseptoria is associated with a
range of leaf spot diseases of cereals and grasses
(Quaedvlieg et al. 2011; Crous et al. 2012). Zymoseptoria
tritici (=Mycosphaerella graminicola)causesseptoriatritici
blotch in wheat, which is a very serious disease of this
crop, occurring wherever wheat is grown. Zymoseptoria
species have mycosphaerella-like sexual morphs, and
although the genus occurs in the Mycosphaerellaceae,it
is unrelated to Mycosphaerella sensu stricto (Stukenbrock
et al. 2012).
