Hiran A. Ariyawansa,Erio Camporesi,Kasun M. Thambugala,Ausana Mapook,Ji-Chuan Kang,Siti Aisyah Alias,Ekachai Chukeatirote,Marco Thines,Eric H. C. McKenzie,Kevin D. Hyde +9 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis in combination with morphology and a review of literature show that Appendispora, Phaeodothis, Roussoella and Verruculina should be excluded from the Didymosphaeria family.
