Massarinaceae Munk.

Remarks.

The family Massarinaceae was introduced by Munk (1956) under Pleosporales together with Cucurbitariaceae and Didymosphaeriaceae . Later, Barr (1987) segregated Massarinaceae under Lophiostomataceae based on morphology, while based on multigene phylogenetic analysis Schoch et al. (2009) also showed Massarinaceae is a distinct family in order Pleosporales . Recently, Zhang et al. (2009, 2012) recognised Massarinaceae as a distinct lineage based on both morphology and molecular phylogeny. In this study, a new species of endophytic Massarina , based on morphological and phylogenetic support, is introduced from Pandanus sp. in Thailand.
