2.2.1 Eremithallales ( Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota)

Eremithallales was introduced for a single species Eremithallus costaricensis (Lücking et al. 2008), with a divergence time estimated as 238 MYA (stem age, Hongsanan et al. 2020b). The order comprised one family Eremithallaceae which has now been synonymized under Melaspileaceae, and Eremithallus costaricensis is included in the genus Melaspilea (Ertz and Diederich 2015) . One marine ascomycete has been referred to Melaspilea, namely M. mangrovei (Vrijmoed et al. 1996), but this has not been confirmed by molecular data.
