Plant diseases cause lots of losses worldwide, and pathogens identification is essential during diseases studies. Traditional identification of phytopathogens mainly relied on host information and pathogen morphological characteristics, which limited the discovery of similar pathogens on the same hosts. Recently, the application of phylogenetics to plant pathology greatly promotes the discovery of larvaceous fungi. For example, novel genera in Cryphonectriaceae were described as phytopathogens continuously in the past two decades.
Cryphonectriaceae is a worldwide fungal family, with most members pathogenic to Myrtiflorae and Fagaceae plants. This family was established in 2006, basing on Endothia-Cryphonetria complex, Amphilogia, Chrysoporthe and Rostraureum (Gryzenhout et al., 2006). Further studies increased 17 genera in this family depended on DNA sequence data, supported by morphological evidence.
