Notes.
Microthyriales
only contains a single family
Microthyriaceae
, based on morphology and phylogeny. Currently, eleven genera are accepted in
Microthyriaceae
, including three asexual genera (
Hongsanan et al. 2020
;
Wijayawardene et al. 2020
). The asexual morph of this family is characterised by having micronematous or macronematous, unbranched or branched, septate conidiophores, mono- to polyblastic, determinate or sympodial, clavate, subcylindrical, ampulliform or ovoid conidiogenous cells and solitary or in branched chains, acrogenous or acropleurogenous, aseptate to multi-septate conidia. In this study, we erected two new asexual genera,
Antidactylaria
and
Isthmomyces
and recognised six new asexual species in
Microthyriaceae
, based on DNA sequences at two gene fragments. In addition, two new combinations are proposed in
Microthyriaceae
combined morphology and phylogeny.
