Type species – Fusculina eucalypti Crous & Summerell, Fungal Divers. 23: 334 (2006).
Notes – Fusculina was introduced by Summerell et al. (2006), with the type species F. eucalypti. Two species have been reported with asexual morphs (Summerell et al. 2006, Crous et al. 2018a). Phylogenetic studies indicated that Fusculina clusters with the type species of Gordonomyces in Pleosporales (Crous et al. 2018a, Fig. 42 in this study). Crous et al. (2018a) introduced the new family to accomodate these two genera.
Figure 42 – Phylogram generated from maximum likelihood analysis (RAxML) of Pleosporales based on ITS, LSU, rpb-2, SSU and tef1 sequence data. Maximum likelihood bootstrap values equal or above 70 % are given at the nodes. An original isolate number is noted after the species name. The tree is rooted to Capnodium coffeae (CBS 147.52). The ex-type strains are indicated in bold.
