Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 years, and continues to accelerate. Several genera have been found to be polyphyletic, and their generic concepts have subsequently been emended. New names have thus been introduced for species which are phylogenetically distinct from the type species of particular genera. The ending of the separate naming of morphs of the same species in 2011, has also caused changes in fungal generic names. In order to facilitate access to all important changes, it was desirable to compile these in a single document. The present article provides a list of generic names of
Ascomycota
(approximately 6500 accepted names published to the end of 2016), including those which are lichen-forming. Notes and summaries of the changes since the last edition of ‘Ainsworth & Bisby’s Dictionary of the Fungi’ in 2008 are provided. The notes include the number of accepted species, classification, type species (with location of the type material), culture availability, life-styles, distribution, and selected publications that have appeared since 2008. This work is intended to provide the foundation for updating the ascomycete component of the “Without prejudice list of generic names of
Fungi
” published in 2013, which will be developed into a list of protected generic names. This will be subjected to the XIXth International Botanical Congress in Shenzhen in July 2017 agreeing to a modification in the rules relating to protected lists, and scrutiny by procedures determined by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF). The previously invalidly published generic names
Barriopsis
,
Collophora
(as
Collophorina
),
Cryomyces
,
Dematiopleospora
,
Heterospora
(as
Heterosporicola
),
Lithophila
,
Palmomyces
(as
Palmaria
) and
Saxomyces
are validated, as are two previously invalid family names,
Bartaliniaceae
and
Wiesneriomycetaceae
. Four species of
Lalaria
, which were invalidly published are transferred to
Taphrina
and validated as new combinations.
Catenomycopsis
Tibell & Constant. is reduced under
Chaenothecopsis
Vain., while
Dichomera
Cooke is reduced under
Botryosphaeria
Ces. & De Not. (Art. 59).
