Type genus.

Melanconiella Sacc., Syll. fung. ( Abellini ) 1: 740 (1882)

Notes.

Melanconiellaceae was validated by Senanayake et al. (2017) for the invalid Melanconiellaceae of Locquin (1984). Senanayake et al. (2017) emended this family to accommodate Dicarpella , Greeneria , Melanconiella , Microascospora and Tubakia . Braun et al. (2018) recommended an exclusion of Dicarpella , Greeneria and Tubakia . In this paper, we introduce the new genus Sheathospora and two new species of Melanconiella in Melanconiellaceae (Fig. 6).
