Description

Coniochaetaceae Malloch & Cain

Notes.

Coniochaetaceae Malloch & Cain was proposed by Malloch and Cain (1971) to contain Coniochaetidium Malloch & Cain and Coniochaeta (Sacc.) Cooke, with Coniochaeta as the type genus. The members of Coniochaetidium were mostly re-evaluated and transferred to the genus Coniochaeta. Meanwhile, Coniochaetidium is regarded as a synonym of Coniochaeta (García et al. 2006). Currently, two genera are accommodated in this family, Barrina A. W. Ramaley and Coniochaeta (Silva et al. 2023). The genus Barrina was established with B. polyspora A. W. Ramaley as the type species (Ramaley 1997). Currently, the genus Barrina accommodates only this single species. The genus Coniochaeta differed from the sexual morph of Barrina in having immersed ascomata, cylindrical to fusoid asci, and ellipsoid-fusoid ascospores (Ramaley 1997; Silva et al. 2023).
