Barr in 1987.[1] According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the family contains 8 genera and 302 species.[2] The family has a widespread distribution, but is especially prevalent in temperate regions. Species are either saprobic or grow as nectrotrophs on the stems or leaves of plants.[3]
