Notes: Tzeananiaceae was established by Ariyawansa et al. (2018b) to accommodate the single genus Tzeanania. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that two strains of Tzeanania formed a distinct clade within Pleosporales (Ariyawansa et al. 2018b, this study).
Type genus: Tzeanania H.A. Ariyaw., A.J.L. Phillips & Chuang.
