Type family.

Savannolpidiaceae Tedersoo & Esmaeilzadeh-Salestani .

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on diagnostic nucleotide signatures in the ITS 2 - LSU interface (LSU positions – 2–18 in type species and S. cerevisiae aagtgatctgaaatcagaca; two mismatches allowed) and SSU V 8 (positions 1589–1608 in S. cerevisiae atgattcatcagatcatgct; two mismatches allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Savannolpidiomycetes, covering sequences EUK 1191209, EUK 1191210, EUK 0534704, EUK 1124874, EUK 1701673, EUK 1701672, and EUK 1124875 (Fig. 1).

Notes.
