Distoseptisporaceae was introduced to accommodate a single genus Distoseptispora (Su et al. 2016). Distoseptisporaceae can be confused with Sporidesmiaceae in having distoseptate, obclavate or cylindrical conidia with tapering apices and truncate ends (Su et al. 2016). However, phylogenetic analyses separate them in different families (Hyde et al. 2020, this study). The sexual morph has been reported in Sporidesmiaceae and is morphologically similar to Annulatascaceae species (Zhang et al. 2017, Luo et al. 2019), while no sexual morph is found in Distoseptisporaceae.

Type genus – Distoseptispora K.D. Hyde, McKenzie & Maharachch.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Distoseptisporaceae.
