“…Micropeltis zingiberacicola clustered as basal to Dothideomycetes without statistical support in previous studies (Wu et al 2011, Hyde et al 2013, Hongsanan et al 2014a, however, it clustered together with Zeloasperisporiales and Natipusillales in some studies. Micropeltis dendrophthoes was established by Hongsanan et al (2015a), and it is closely related to M. zingiberacicola in their phylogenetic tree. The placement of Micropeltidaceae in Dothideomycetes was not supported in their phylogenetic tree (Hongsanan et al 2015a).…”

“…The molecular data has been used to confirm the placement of Microthyriaceae in Dothideomycetes and to establish a new family/order (Hongsanan et al 2014a, 2015a,b, Ariyawansa et al 2015, Hongsanan et al 2017. Neomicrothyrium siamense was established with Microthyrium-like taxa (Fig.…”

“…Hongsanan et al (2014a) and Ariyawansa et al (2015) added a new genus and species in Microthyriaceae based on morphology and molecular data; this supported the status of Microthyriaceae in Dothideomycetes. Although, Hongsanan et al (2015a) established a new species in Micropeltidaceae with sequence data, their phylogenetic tree only distinguished the new species. Presently, there are only two species of Micropeltidaceae that were established with sequence data, thus the placement of Micropeltidaceae has not been well resolved until now.…”

“…Micropeltidaceae and Microthyriaceae were placed in Microthyriales (Dothideomycetes) based on their flattened, easily removed thyriothecia, and poorly-developed base. However, thyriothecium of Microthyriaceae comprise cuboid or angular cells, arranged in parallel rows from the prominent central ostiole and uniseptate ascospores (Doidge 1942, Müller & von Arx 1962, Luttrell 1973, Barr 1987, Hofmann & Piepenbring 2006, Hofmann 2010, Wu et al 2011, Hyde et al 2013, Hongsanan et al 2015a.…”

“…The family represents foliar, biotrophic epiphytes, which mostly can be found on the lower leaf surface as small black dots. Species in this family are characterized by flattened, black-blue or greenish to black thyriothecia, easily removed from the host surface, poorly developed at the base, comprising interwoven hyphae, with a central ostiole, and up to multi transseptate, hyaline ascospores (Clements & Shear 1931, Batista 1959, von Arx & Müller 1975, Barr 1987, Kirk et al 2008, Lumbsch & Huhndorf 2010, Wu et al 2011, Hyde et al 2013, Hongsanan et al 2015a).

Abstract"Microthyriaceae-like" taxa are fungal epiphytes which appear as black dots on the host surface. The families Micropeltidaceae and Microthyriaceae have been poorly studied, particularly with molecular data, due to the difficulty in obtaining pure cultures. The two families were placed in Microthyriales in many studies based on thyriothecial characters. Two species of Micropeltidaceae (Micropeltis dendrophthoes and M. zingiberacicola ) clustered at the base of Dothideomycetes and were unrelated to Microthyriaceae in previous phylogenetic trees. Their placements were treated as unresolved. We restudied sequence data of Micropeltidaceae and its related strains to clarify the current placement using authentic strains available in GenBank. Phylogenetic analyses generated from maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses (used ITS, LSU, RPB2, SSU and TEF1 sequence data) including Blast results, indicate that the current placement of Micropeltidaceae is in Ostropales (Lecanoromycetes), although it is not strongly supported. A revised phylogenetic tree for Micropeltidaceae and selected families from Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Lecanoromycetes, Leotiomycetes and Sordariomycetes is provided with discussions in this paper.
