The Delonicicolales are a order of fungi holding the two families; Delonicicolaceae and Leptosilliaceae  within the subclass class of Xylariomycetidae. They are

Order Delonicicolales was introduced by Perera et al. (2017) to accommodate family Delonicicolaceae which comprises of genera Delonicicola and Liberomyces. The divergence time estimates for the order are 181 (133–234) MYA (Million years ago) and 95 (51–157) MYA (Perera et al. 2017). Voglmayr et al. in 2019 then introduced a new genus Furfurella to the Delonicicolaceae family and in the same study, Liberomyces was synonymized under Leptosillia. Voglmayr et al. also introduced family Leptosilliaceae, which is typified by genus Leptosillia, while rejecting Delonicicolales based on phylogenetic analyses with several gene combinations (ITS-LSU and SSU-ITS-LSU-rpb1–rpb2–tef1–tub2). In our study, based on a LSU-ITS-rpb2–tub2 matrix Delonicicolales forms a highly supported clade (100% ML) comprising Delonicicolaceae and Leptosilliaceae, basal to orders Amphisphaeriales and Xylariales. However, in another combined gene analysis of LSU-SSU-tef1–rpb2, Delonicicolales forms an internal clade in Xylariales. The divergence time estimates in this study are a stem age of 165 Mya which supports the order establishment by Perera et al. (2017). This was accepted by Wijayawardene et al. 2020. Currently there are two families and three genera in this order.

Leptosilliaceae Voglmayr & Jaklitsch Leptosillia Höhn. (11)

The monotypic genus Leptosillia, based on species Leptosillia notha, was posthumously described by Höhnel in 1928, in a manuscript edited by J. Weese, with Harpostroma notha as its asexual morph. As the genus name suggests, Leptosillia was considered to be closely related to the diaporthalean genus of Sillia (Stilbosporaceae family, Diaporthales order).

Furfurella, a new genus with the three new species, F. luteostiolata, F. nigrescens and F. stromatica, was found growing on the dead branches of Mediterranean Fabaceous family of shrubs from tribe Genisteae.
