New combinations include: Amesomyces atrobrunneus (based on Chaetomium atrobrunneum), Amesomyces cymbiformis (based on Chaetomium cymbiforme), Amesomyces dreyfussii (based on Chaetomium dreyfussii), Amesomyces gelasinosporus (based on Chaetomium gelasinosporum), Amesomyces hispanicus (based on Amesia hispanica), Amesomyces khuzestanicus (based on Amesia khuzestanica), Amesomyces nigricolor (based on Chaetomium nigricolor), Amesomyces raii (based on Chaetomium raii), Carteromyces arctostaphyli (based on Carteria arctostaphyli), Carteromyces canariensis (based on Carteria canariensis), Capronia americana (based on Cadophora americana), Didymella conyzaphthora (based on Phoma conyzaphthora), Heterotruncatella watsoniae (based on Pestalotia watsoniae), Hoehneliella undulosetulata (based on Paramenisporopsis undulosetulata), Microascus stellatus (based on Humicola stellata), Neoceratosperma marasasii (based on Mycosphaerella marasasii), Paraphaeophleospora tripteridis (based on Septoria tripteridis), Parapolyscytalum minutum (based on Infundichalara minuta), Scolecofusariella peltigerae (based on Fusarium peltigerae) and Veronaea brunnea (based on Exophiala brunnea). Zygophiala is reduced to synonymy under Schizothyrium, Paramenisporopsis and Klebahnopycnis under Hoehneliella, and the descriptions of the order Comminutisporales and family Comminutisporaceae are emended.
