Members of the family are distributed worldwide and can be found in various habitats including on insects, plants, rocks, and in the soil. They are also known to be opportunistic human pathogens. In this study, 12 strains of rock-inhabiting fungi that belong to were isolated from rock samples collected from forests located in Lamphun and Sukhothai provinces of northern Thailand during the period from 2021 to 2022. On the basis of the morphological characteristics, growth temperature, and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses of a combination of the internal transcribed spacer, the large subunit, and the small subunit of ribosomal RNA, beta tubulin and the translation elongation factor 1-a genes, the new genus, gen. nov., has been established to accommodate the single species, sp. nov. In addition, three new species of have also been introduced, namely, , , and . Descriptions, illustrations, and a phylogenetic trees indicating the placement of these new taxa are provided. Here, we provide updates and discussions on the phylogenetic placement of other fungal genera within .
该家族成员分布于世界各地，存在于各种生境中，包括昆虫、植物、岩石和土壤中。它们也是机会性病原体。在这项研究中，从 2021 年至 2022 年期间，在泰国北部的拉廊府和素可泰府的森林中采集的岩石样本中分离出了 12 株属于 的岩石栖息真菌。基于形态特征、生长温度以及内部转录间隔区、大亚基和核糖体 RNA 小亚基、β-微管蛋白和翻译延伸因子 1-α 基因的多基因系统发育分析，建立了新属 ，以容纳单一物种 。此外，还引入了 3 个新种，即 、 和 。提供了这些新分类群的描述、说明和表示它们在系统发育树上位置的图片。本文还提供了对 内其他真菌属系统发育位置的更新和讨论。
