Sporocadaceae Corda, 1842

Remarks.

Sporocadaceae was introduced by Corda (1842) with Pestalotiopsis -like asexual morphs and confirmed by Senanayake et al. (2015). Members of Sporocadaceae are saprobes, endophytes or foliar pathogens in tropical and temperate regions ( Jeewon et al. 2004; Tanaka et al. 2011). Pestalotiopsis can be found as saprobes or pathogens worldwide ( Jeewon et al. 2002, 2003; Maharachchikumbura et al. 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014a, b, 2016a, c). Recently, Chen et al. (2017) provided updates for this genus based on morphology and phylogeny. In this study, two known species of Pestalotiopsis from Pandanaceae hosts were isolated.
