TL;DR: Dothideomycetes comprise a highly diverse range of fungi characterized mainly by asci with two wall layers (bitunicate asci) and often with fissitunicate dehiscence, and it is hoped that by illustrating types they provide stimulation and interest so that more work is carried out in this remarkable group of fungi.

TL;DR: Sooty moulds have been well-studied at the morphological level, but they are poorly represented in a natural classification based on phylogeny and their biochemical potential for obtaining novel bioactive compounds for medical application is underexplored.

TL;DR: The present study describes two new families, 12 new genera, 82 new species, five new combinations and 25 new records on new hosts and new geographical distributions as well as sexual-asexual reports.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the Capnodiaceae with notes on selected genera and illustrated type specimens of the ascomycetous genera Aithaloderma, Anopeltis, Callebaea, Capnodaria, Echinothecium, Phragmocapnias and Scorias.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the acceptance of DNA sequences alone as types of names of taxa, under the terms used in the current proposals, is unnecessary and would not solve the problem of naming putative taxa known only from DNA sequences in a scientifically defensible way.
