Lumbsch & Huhndorf (2010) included Englerulaceae in Dothideomycetes , families incertae sedis with seven genera, while Hyde et al . (2013) treated this family with eleven genera. The family is characterized by septate, irregularly to reticulately branched hyphae, ellipsoid to globose, cupulate, non-ostiolate ascomata, bitunicate, asci and 1-septate ascospores ( Hyde et al . 2013 , Dai et al . 2014a ). Putative asexual states are coelomyceteous or hyphomyceteous and reported in the genera Digitosarcinella , Krishnamyces , Mitteriella and Questieriella ( Hyde et al . 2013 ) .
