Réblová (2008) and Liu et al. (2012) showed that Jobelli sia species were closely related to members of Calosphaeri ales, Diaporthales and Togniniaceae based on LSU sequence analysis. Maharachchikumbura et al. (2015) established the monotypic order Jobellisiales in Diaporthomycetidae based on the multi-gene analysis. The phylogenetic position of this order is unstable and was previously thought to be related to Calosphaeriales and Togniniales (Hongsanan et al. 2017; Hyde et al. 2017). We find that Jobellisiales is basal to Calosphaeriales, Togniniales, Diaporthales and Tirisporel lales. Jobellisiales is different from Calosphaeri ales and Togniniales with clavate asci and hyaline allantoid ascospores, and different from Tirisporellales with cylindri cal asci and fusoid, falcate to lunate ascospores (Hyde et al. 2020). It is similar to Diaporthales, in having cylindrical to ellipsoidal asci and brown, subglobose ascospores; however, they are distantly related in phylogenetic analyses (Hyde et al. 2020).

Type family: Jobellisiaceae Réblová, Mycologia 100(6): 899 (2008).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Jobellisiales.
