This study is concerned with the phylogeny and taxonomy of genera Menisporopsis, Multiguttulispora and Tainosphaeria, classified in the Chaetosphaeriaceae. It is based on an integrated morpho-molecular characterisation to assess their generic concepts and explore phylogenetic relationships. Menisporopsis is revealed as polyphyletic and several species are placed int he new segregate genus Arcuatospora. The Tainosphaeria complex is resolved into three genera. We found that the morphological separation of three groups within the genus is consistent with phylogenetic relationships. Based on molecular evidence, we show that asymmetrical, scolecosporous ascospores are a unique teleomorphic characteristic among family members.
