that Zopfiella is polyphyletic. The type species
formed a well-supported group with a species
each of Podospora and Cercophora. The group
shared the characteristic of ascospores with a
septum in the dark cell and suggested that
Zopfiella be restricted to species having that
character. However, Cai et al. (2006b) did not
mention that the same character shows up in
some distantly related taxa included in their
analyses. The type species of Zopfiella did not
group with the representatives of the
Chaetomiaceae so the genus returns to the
Lasiosphaeriaceae. (2006-07-17)
