Type genus.

Melanconis Tul. & C. Tul., Select. Fung. Carpol. (Paris) 2: 115 (1863).

Notes.

Melanconidaceae was introduced by Winter (1886) and has been subject to some confusion due to the overlap in morphological characters between genera and the absence of DNA sequence data supporting the family concept ( Barr 1978). Castlebury et al. (2002) and Rossman et al. (2007) restricted this family to a single genus Melanconis based on LSU rDNA sequences, which was adapted by recent studies ( Senanayake et al. 2017, Fan et al. 2018b).
