Hemileia is a genus of rust fungi, now placed in the family Zaghouaniaceae, [2] but long considered incertae sedis in the order Pucciniales. This genus has a pan-tropical distribution [3] and includes important crop plant pathogens, such as the causative organism of coffee leaf rust.

Tilletia is a genus of smut fungi in the Tilletiaceae family. Species in this genus are plant pathogens that affect various grasses. Tilletia indica, which causes Karnal bunt of wheat, and Tilletia horrida, responsible for rice kernel smut, are examples of species that affect economically important crops.
Trabutia is a genus of fungi in the family Phyllachoraceae.
Chaetothyrium is a genus of fungi in the family Chaetothyriaceae.
Dimerosporiella is a genus of fungi in the class Sordariomycetes.
Asterinella is a genus of fungi in the Microthyriaceae family. It is commonly found on decaying leaves or dead plants.
Trichothyrium is a genus of fungi in the Trichothyriaceae family.
Myriangium is a genus of fungi within the family Myriangiaceae.
Maravalia is a genus of rust fungi in the Chaconiaceae family. The widespread genus contains about 35 species that grow on angiosperms.
Olivea is a genus of rust fungi in the family Chaconiaceae. The widespread genus contains eight species that grow on dicots, especially the tropical flowering plant family Verbenaceae.
The Zaghouaniaceae are a family of rust fungus genera, some of which have long been considered incertae sedis in the order Pucciniales, based on the type genus Zaghouania. The classification of fungal taxa based on only morphological characteristics has long been recognised as problematical, so this order was reviewed over a long term study using three DNA loci and published in 2021.
