Phylogenetic study<br />

Based on a multi-gene phylogenetic analysis, Dothidotthia<br />

formed a separate familial clade (Phillips et al. 2008).<br />

Thus Dothidotthiaceae was introduced to accommodate it<br />

(Phillips et al. 2008).<br />

Concluding remarks<br />

By comparing the morphological characters and phylogenetic<br />

dendrograms by Phillips et al. (2008) and de Gruyter et al.<br />

(2009), Dothidotthia seems closely related to Didymellaceae,<br />

but Dothidotthiaceae should still be treated as a separate family.
