2.2.2 Golubeviales ( Exobasidiomycetes, Basidiomycota)

The order was introduced for the genus Golubeva with G. pallescens as the type species (Wang et al. 2015). In a multigene phylogeny and taxonomic revision of yeasts in the Ustilaginomycotina, two species in the genus Tilletiopsis ( T. albescens, T. pallescens) grouped separately from the Tilletiopsis clade and these were referred to new genera, Robbauera and Golubeva, respectively. These genera served as new families and orders in the Ustilaginomycotina. Golubeva is the type genus for the Golubeviaceae, Golubeviales (Wang et al. 2015), a new name for the checklist.
