Asexual morph from human-associated organs or saprobic on plant debris or epiphytic on living leaves. Conidiophores acroauxic, macronematous or micronematous, mononematous, branched or unbranched, or reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells mono- and polyblastic, sympodially extended or not. Conidia solitary or in branched or unbranched chains, hyaline or pale pigmented, smooth, verrucous, or echinulate. Chlamydospores sometimes present. Sexual morph not observed.

Type genus.

Neodactylaria Guevara-Suarez, Deanna A. Sutton, Wiederh. & Gené.

Notes.

Because of the inclusion of genera Beaucarneamyces, Pseudoarthrographis , and Szaferohypha in Neodactylariales ( Crous et al. 2024; this study), the emended description of this order is necessary. The original description of this order ( Qiao et al. 2020) is included without changes and emended by crucial characters of these genera given in bold.
