History

It was introduced by Luttrell (1951) to accommodate genus Microascus which was originally placed in family Ophiostomataceae (Nannfeldt 1932, [3] ) or Eurotiaceae in Eunotiales order, (Moreau and Moreau 1953; [4] Emmons and Dodge 1931; [5] Doguet 1957). [6] Then Malloch (1970) validated the family and accepted genera, Kernia, Lophotrichus and Petriellidium in the family. [7] It has 60 species in 2023. [8]
