Notes.

Melanconiellaceae was validated by Senanayake et al. (2017) for the invalid Melanconiellaceae of Locquin (1984). Senanayake et al. (2017) emended this family to accommodate Dicarpella, Greeneria, Melanconiella, Microascospora and Tubakia . Braun et al. (2018) recommended an exclusion of Dicarpella, Greeneria and Tubakia . In this paper, we introduce the new genus Sheathospora and two new species of Melanconiella in Melanconiellaceae (Fig. 6).
