2.3.18 Trichomeriaceae

Chomnunti et al. (2012) in a phylogenetic study, showed that the Trichomerium species (type species T. co ff eicola), form a monophyletic clade within Chaetothyriales and established the new family Trichomeriaceae . Members of Trichomerium are generally foliar epiphytes (sooty moulds), mostly occurring on the surface of living leaves as ascostromata with setae with dark brown mycelia ( Chomnunti et al. 2012). Genera assigned to the family include: Bradymyces , Lithohypha , Neostrelitziana , and Knufa. Knu fi a is a dematiaceous hyphomycetous genus introduced by Hutchison et al. (1995) with K. cryptophialidica as the type species. Two marine Knufa species are known: Knu fi a petricola isolated from the green marine alga Flabellia petiolata ( Gnavi et al. 2017) ; K. epidermidis isolated from deep sea sediments (Wei et al. 2018).
