Anamorphic chaetosphaeriaceous fungi from China

Abstract Chaetosphaeriaceae is one of the largest families in Sordariomycetes with its members commonly found on decaying leaf, fruit, branch, bark and wood both terrestrial submerged environment nature. This paper reports our research result diversity, taxonomy phylogeny anamorphic China, which based a systematic study an integrated approach morphological observation phylogenetic analysis for large collection (> 1300 herbarium specimens 1100 living strains). The family expanded to accommodate 89 accepted genera, including 22 new genera 10 newly assigned genera. Most these (except Chaetosphaeria several other relatively genera) are delimitated as monophyletic well-defined diagnostic characters morphology. connection non-phialidic Sporidesmium -like fungi further confirmed different polyphyletic Codinaea / Dictyochaeta/Tainosphaeria complex resolved taxonomic framework 28 by redelimitation Dictyochaeta narrower concept, acceptance 16 established finally introduction Chloridium phylogenetically redefined genus concept typified type species, but review generic species level still needed. For biodiversity chaetosphaeriaceous fungi, total 369 76 119 47 combinations, name, documented. identification keys provided most especially such s. str., Codinaeella , Stilbochaeta Cryptophiale Thozetella Dinemasporium Pseudolachnella . In addition, ten known were excluded from reclassified.
