[2] The placement of the taxa of family Magnaporthaceae had long been problematic due to the lack of convincing morphological and inconclusive molecular data studies (Thongkantha et al.
[5] Thongkantha et al. (2009) established a new order, Magnaporthales to accommodate family Magnaporthaceae based on characters and phylogenetic analysis.
[1] Then Maharachchikumbura et al. (2016) listed families Magnaporthaceae, Ophioceraceae, and Pyriculariaceae in order Magnaporthales based on the literature and phylogenetic analysis.
[5] Pseudohalonectriaceae was introduced as a novel family in Magnaporthales to accommodate genus Pseudohalonectria based on phylogenetic and molecular dating evidence (Hongsanan et al.
Silva et al. (2019) introduced a new genus Bifusisporella, in family Magnaporthaceae, to accommodate an endophytic fungus from Brazil, found on the healthy leaves of Sorghum bicolor.
