Dothideaceae (14) Neocelosporiaceae (3) Saccotheciaceae (8) Zalariaceae (1) Dothideales are an order of bitunicate fungi consisting mainly of saprobic or plant parasitic species.

[1] Until 2001, this order was thought to contain five families: Botryosphaeriaceae, Coccoidiaceae, Doditheaceae, Dothioraceae, and the Planistromellaceae.

[2] Several molecular phylogenetic studies since that time have resulted in an organization restructuring of classification.

In the December 31, 2007 revision of Ascomycota classification the Dothideales contains two families, the Dothidiaceae and the Dothioraceae.

Also families (with number of genera); Neocelosporiaceae (3), Saccotheciaceae (8) and Zalariaceae (1) were added to the order.
