Diatrypaceae was introduced by Nitschke (1869) with Diatrype as the type genus. This family includes 22 genera and more than 1500 species (Mehrabi et al. 2019, Dissanayake et al. 2021). The family is characterized by perithecial ascomata embedded in a stroma, long-stalked asci and allantoid ascospores (Glawe & Rogers 1984, Rappaz 1987). Diatrypaceae species exhibit as common saprophytes or pathogens or endophytes from an extensive range of woody plants in terrestrial and aquatic environments worldwide (Glawe & Rogers 1984, de Errasti et al. 2014, Liu et al. 2015).

Type genus: Diatrype Fr., Summa veg. Scand., Sectio Post. (Stockholm): 384 (1849).
