It is a highly diverse group with a worldwide distribution and it has higher diversity in warm temperate and tropical regions (Rossman et al. 1999;[3] Rossman 2000; Chaverri et al. 2011, Schroers et al. 2011,[4] Hyde et al. 2014, Lombard et al. 2015,[5]). Several authors have studied and revised the taxonomy of Nectriaceae (Petch 1938;[6] Munk 1957; Dennis 1960; Kreisel 1969; Rossman et al. 1999;[3] Lumbsch and Huhndorf 2010; Lombard et al. 2015; Maharachchikumbura et al. 2016b).[7] A recent treatment of Nectriaceae was provided by Wijayawardene et al. (2022), they also accepted 70 genera within the family.[8]
