This study aimed to verify the phylogenetic position using four nuclear markers (SSU, LSU, ITS and <i>RPB2</i>) of the <i>incertae sedis</i> genera associated with <i>Myriangiales</i>, namely <i>Endosporium</i>, <i>Gobabebomyces</i>, <i>Lembosiniella</i> and <i>Phaeosclera</i>, and the new genus, <i>Endophytium gen. nov</i>. (including <i>E. albocacti sp. nov</i>. and <i>E. cacti sp. nov</i>.), established for endophytic fungi occurring in cacti in Brazil. Based on morphology, lifestyle and phylogenetic inferences, these black meristematic and meristematic-like fungi cannot be accommodated in <i>Myriangiales</i>. Combining these results, three new orders and two new families are introduced: <i>Endophytiales ord. nov</i>. (including <i>Endophytiaceae fam. nov</i>. for <i>Endophytium gen. nov</i>.), <i>Endosporiales ord. nov</i>. (including <i>Endosporiaceae</i> for <i>Endosporium</i>) and <i>Phaeosclerales ord. nov</i>. (including <i>Phaeoscleraceae fam. nov</i>. for <i>Phaeosclera</i>). <i>Gobabebomyces</i> and <i>Lembosiniella</i> remained <i>incertae sedis</i> due to their disposition in the phylogenetic tree, that moved among clades accordingly with the gene analysed. Our results show that the inclusion of endophytic fungi obtained from plants in dry forests can contribute to the discovery of new taxa, clarify the phylogenetic position of allied taxa and confer information to the estimation of national and global fungal diversity. <b>Citation:</b> Barreto GG, Souza-Motta CM, Silva GA, Groenewald JZ, Crous PW, Bezerra JDP (2024).
