Description

Melanconidaceae G. Winter [as ‘ Melanconideae’], Rabenh. Krypt. - Fl., Edn 2 (Leipzig) 1.2: 764 (1886)

Notes.

Melanconidaceae was established by Winter (1886). This family initially encompassed numerous genera characterised by perithecia immersed in well-developed stromata, with ostioles emerging through an ectostromatic disc (Barr 1978). However, based on analyses of LSU sequence data, Castlebury et al. (2002) and Rossman et al. (2007) later reduced this family to include only the type genus, Melanconis. Fan et al. (2018 b) further confirmed that Melanconidaceae should be treated as a monotypic family, containing only the genus Melanconis.
