%X There are three distinguished types of septal structures in ascogenous hyphae and ascal bases, namely aleuroid-, pulvinuloid- and otideoid-type found in the tribes of Aleurieae, Lachneae and Otideae (Humariaceae). These septal structures provide solid evidences that Humariaceae has strong phylogenetic relationship with Helvellaceae and Ascobolaceae. The apothecial characters such as carotenoid pigment, excipular hair, or habitat are not adequate to delimit a family; instead, septal structures seem to be more conservative and could be used in the revision of families in the Discomycetes.
