Systematics
Phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of this class.[3] Dothideomycetes is a sister group.[4]
Characteristics
Taxa have apothecia, cup- or saucer- shaped ascoma in which the hymenium is exposed at maturity. These apothecia are bitunicate - with clearly differentiated inner and outer walls.
