Index Fungorum, Faceoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank.

Classification: Sordariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Dikarya, Fungi.

The order Togniniales comprises only its type family Togniniaceae (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015; Réblová et al. 2015). Multi-gene analyses showed that Togniniales is a distinct order in the subclass Diaporthomycetidae (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015, 2016; Réblová et al. 2015; Huang et al. 2019). Species in this order have a worldwide distribution and are pathogens of plants and animals (Hoffmann and Voigt 2011; Kredics et al. 2011; Huang et al. 2018b). 

Type species: Togninia Berl.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Togniniales.
