Celotheliaceae is a family of fungi in the monotypic order Phaeomoniellales.[2] The family was proposed in 2008 by Robert Lücking, André Aptroot, and Harrie Sipman,[3] while the order was circumscribed in 2015. It is sister to the clade that includes the orders Verrucariales and Chaetothyriales.[4] Molecular clock calculations suggest that the order originated when gymnosperm diversification occurred.[5]
The family Phaeomoniellaceae was proposed by Paul Kirk in 2015, using a reference to the description of the order Phaeomoniellales,[6] circumscribed earlier that year.[4] However, because Celothelium (the type genus of Celotheliaceae[3]) is also included in the circumscription of the Phaeomoniellaceae, the older family name takes precedence and consequently, Phaeomoniellaceae is an illegitimate name according to nomenclatural rules; it is placed in synonymy with Celotheliaceae.[1]
These are the genera that are in the Phaeomoniellaceae (including estimated number of species in each genus, totalling 27 species), according to a 2021 review of fungal classification.[2] Following the genus name is the taxonomic authority (those who first circumscribed the genus; standardised author abbreviations are used), year of publication, and the estimated number of species.[2]
Sesquiterpenes and polyketides metabolites are found in Picea rubens endophytes Phaemoniella.[11]
