Botryosphaeriales C.L. Schoch, Crous & Shoemaker

Remarks.

The order Botryosphaeriales was introduced by Schoch et al. (2006) with Botryosphaeriaceae as the type family. Botryosphaeriales is a diverse order with a worldwide distribution, comprising species that vary from endophytes to pathogens ( Slippers and Wingfield 2007; Phillips et al. 2013; Chethana et al. 2016; Daranagama et al. 2016; Dissanayake et al. 2016; Konta et al. 2016a, b; Linaldeddu et al. 2016a, b, c; Manawasinghe et al. 2016; Zhang et al. 2017). Currently, nine families are recognised, namely, Aplosporellaceae , Botryosphaeriaceae , Endomelanconiopsisaceae , Melanopsaceae , Phyllostictaceae , Planistromellaceae , Pseudofusicoccumaceae , Saccharataceae and Septorioideaceae ( Schoch et al. 2006; Minnis et al. 2012; Wikee et al. 2013; Slippers et al. 2013; Wyka and Broders 2016; Dissanayake et al. 2016; Yang et al. 2017). In this study, Endomelanconiopsis freycinetiae is introduced as a new species and reports are provided on Phyllosticta capitalensis and Lasiodiplodia theobromae .
