Notes: Wiesneriomycetales was introduced by Bezerra et al. (2016) to accommodate Wiesneriomycetaceae as the type family. Wiesneriomycetales species have sporodochial or synnematal conidiomata with or without setae, conidiophores are macronematous, mononematous or penicillate, conidia hyaline to slightly pigmented in chains connected by narrow isthmi. Wiesneriomycetales shows wide distribution in tropical and subtropical regions, growing on different substrates (Suetrong et al. 2014; Pratibha et al. 2015; Dos Santos et al. 2015; Crous et al. 2016a).
Type family: Wiesneriomycetaceae Suetrong, Rungjind., Somrith. & E.B.G. Jones, Phytotaxa 176(1): 288 (2014).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Tubeufiales.
