Notes: The family Coryneaceae was introduced by Corda (1839) based on Coryneum. However, Barr (1978) introduced the family Pseudovalsaceae based on Pseudovalsa lanciformis, which is the sexual morph of Coryneum umbonatum. Hence Pseudovalsaceae must be synonymised under Coryneaceae giving priority to the older name. Rossman et al. (2015) protected the earliest name Coryneum (1816) over Pseudovalsa (1863) and conserved Coryneum umbonatum as the type species. This family comprises fungal taxa with upright, erumpent perithecia and central beaks. However, many genera previously included in Coryneaceae have been placed in various other families (Castlebury et al. 2002) and the only genus remaining in the family is Coryneum.
