Abstract

Diaporthales is an important ascomycetous order comprising phytopathogenic, saprobic, and endophytic fungi but interfamilial taxonomic relationships are still ambiguous. Despite its cosmopolitan distribution and high diversity with distinctive morphologies, this order has received relatively little attention. Currently the existing classification of the group reveals 14 accepted families within the subclass Diaporthomycetidae. The current state of Diaporthales systematics is reviewed herein based on available morphological studies coupled with DNA sequence analyses from a concatenated dataset of the LSU nrDNA, ITS nrDNA, rpb2 and tef1 gene regions. Based on morphological data and phylogenetic inferences, seven new families are introduced in the order, viz. Apiosporopsidaceae fam. nov., Asterosporiaceae fam. nov., Auratiopycnidiellaceae fam. nov., Erythrogloeaceae fam. nov., Lasmeniaceae fam. nov., Melanconiellaceae fam. nov., Prosopidicolaceae Senan. & K.D. Hyde fam. nov. and a new familial combination as Coniellaceae (Rossman, D.F. Farr & Castl.) Senan., Maharachch. & K.D. Hyde fam. com. nov. Other families also accepted within the order are Coryneaceae, Cryphonectriaceae, Diaporthaceae, Gnomoniaceae, Harknessiaceae, Juglanconidaceae, Lamproconiaceae, Macrohilaceae, Melanconidaceae, Pseudoplagiostomaceae, Stilbosporaceae, Sydowiellaceae and Valsaceae. Taxonomic uncertainties among genera are also clarified and recurrent discrepancies in the taxonomic position of families within the Diaporthales are discussed. An updated outline and key of the order is presented.
