Notes: Saccotheciaceae was introduced by Bonorden (1864) in order to accommodate Saccothecium Fr., whileTheissen and Sydow (1917) introduced Dothioraceae Theiss. & Syd. in Dothideales which was typified byDothiora Fr. Doweld (2012) suggested to conserve Dothioraceae against the older Saccotheciaceae. However, Thambugala et al (2014) synonymized Dothioraceae under Dothideaceae based on morphology and molecular phylogeny, and also introduced Aureobasidiaceae K.M. Thambugala& K.D. Hyde to accommodate Aureobasidium Viala & G.Boyer, Saccothecium and five other genera. The family Aureobasidiaceae had in fact already been introduced byCiferri (1958). Nevertheless, Aureobasidiaceae should besynonymized under Saccotheciaceae because the latter is theoldest available name for the family that containsAureobasidium and Saccothecium.
