Abstract

During a survey of saprophytic microfungi on decomposing woody, herbaceous debris and soil from different regions in Southern Europe, a wide range of interesting species of asexual ascomycetes were found. Phylogenetic analyses based on partial gene sequences of SSU, LSU and ITS proved that most of these fungi were related to and and to lesser extent to and . Four new monotypic orders with their respective families are proposed here, i.e. and . One new order and three families are introduced here to accommodate orphan taxa, viz. and . Furthermore, is validated. Based on morphology and phylogenetic affinities and are moved to the new genera and , respectively. is accommodated in the genus . Other novel genera include with the type species sp. nov., and comb. nov. previously accommodated in with sp. nov. as type species, and comb. nov. previously accommodated in ; typified by sp. nov., a fungus morphologically similar to but phylogenetically distant; typified by sp. nov., a meristematic fungus related to typified by sp. nov. to accommodate an isolate previously identified as typified with sp. nov., a foliicolous fungus related to and similar to , but distinguished by polyphialidic conidiogenous cells produced on setiform conidiophores. Other novel species proposed are and . To fix the application of some fungal names, lectotypes and/or epitypes are designated for and .
