Notes: The monotypic Malmeomyces was initially placed in Hypocreaceae (Starbäck 1899), and subsequently accepted in Niessliaceae based on ascomata with erect setae (Lumbsch & Huhndorf 2010, Maharachchikumbura et al. 2016, Hyde et al. 2020, Wijayawardene et al. 2020) (copied from Huang et al. 2021).
