Pleosporales , genera incertae sedis

Pleosporales is considered as the largest order of Dothideomycetes ( Kirk et al. 2008) and is characterised by perithecioid ascomata, usually with a papillate apex, ostioles with or without periphyses, cellular pseudoparaphyses, bitunicate asci, and ascospores of various shapes, pigmentation and septation ( Hyde et al. 2013). Pleosporales was formally established by Barr (1987) based on the family Pleosporaceae with the type species Pleospora herbarum . The asexual stages of Pleosporales are mostly coelomycetous and rarely hyphomycetous, including Phoma or phoma-like asexual stages ( Zhang et al. 2012, Hyde et al. 2013). Lumbsch & Huhndorf (2010) included 12 genera under Pleosporales , genera incertae sedis, while Hyde et al. (2013) included six.
