Shiraiaceae   is an important family in   Pleosporales   (  Dothideomycetes  ), which includes medical fungi and plant pathogens. Two hypocrellin-producing taxa,    Shiraia   bambusicola    and a novel genus    Rubroshiraia    gen. nov. , typified by    Rubroshiraia   bambusae    are treated in this article. Maximum likelihood analysis, generated via RAxML (GTR+G model), using a combined  SSU ,  LSU , TEF1 and RPB2 sequence dataset, shows that    Rubroshiraia    is close to    Shiraia    and belongs to the family   Shiraiaceae  . Descriptions, illustrations and a taxonomic key are provided for the genera in   Shiraiaceae  .    Rubroshiraia    morphologically differs from    Shiraia    in having small and dark ascostromata and filiform ascospores. Production of the ascostromatal metabolites, hypocrellin A and B, were examined by HPLC and spectrophotometer. The content of hypocrellin A and B of specimen  HKAS  102255 (   R.   bambusae   ) is twice that produced by  HKAS  102253 (   S.   bambusicola   ). To clarify the relationship between    R.   bambusae    and    Hypocrella   bambusae   , type material of the latter was examined and provided the illustration.

Rubroshiraia gen. nov., a second hypocrellin-producing genus in Shiraiaceae ( Pleosporales )
