Mission Fieldiana is a peer-reviewed monographic series published by the Field Museum of Natural History. Fieldiana focuses on mid- length monographs and scientific papers pertaining to collections and research at the Field Museum. With this issue Fieldiana will appear in two series: Fieldiana Life and Earth Sciences and Fieldiana Anthropology. Eligibility Field Museum curators, research associates, and full-time scientific professional staff may submit papers for consideration. Edited volumes pertaining to Field Museum collections may also be submitted for consideration under a subsidy arrangement. The submission and peer review of these chaptered volumes should be arranged well in advance with the managing scientific editor and the appropriate associate editor. Submission Procedures Submission procedures are detailed in a separate document called “SUBMISSIONS PROCEDURES” available on the Fieldiana web site: (http://www.fieldmuseum.org/research_collections/fieldiana/) under the Author’s page. All manuscripts should be submitted to the managing scientific editor.

Outline of Ascomycota—2009 Part Two. Notes on Ascomycete Systematics. Nos. 4751–5113 H. Thorsten Lumbsch and Sabine M. Huhndorf Abstract Part One presents the current classification that includes all accepted genera and higher taxa above the generic level in the phylum Ascomycota. It is based on the changes listed in Myconet notes 4751–5113. In the current outline, three subphyla (Pezizomycotina, Saccharomycotina, Taphrinomycotina) are accepted. Taphrinomycotina includes four classes (Neolectomycetes, Pneumocystidomycetes, Schizosaccharomyces, Taphrinomycetes). Saccharomycotina consists of one class and Pezizomycotina includes eleven classes (Arthoniomycetes, Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Geoglossomycetes, Laboulbeniomycetes, Lecanoromycetes, Leotiomycetes, Lichinomycetes, Orbiliomycetes, Pezizomycetes, Sordariomycetes). Part Two presents 363 notes on the taxonomy and nomenclature of ascomycetes(Ascomycota) at the generic and higher levels. Numerous changes in higher levels resulted from multi-authored phylogenetic papers resulting from the AFTOL and Deep Hyphae projects, especially a publication on a revised fungal classification spearheaded by David Hibbett in 2007 and a 2009 volume of Studies in Mycology edited by Conrad Schoch and others dedicated to the phylogeny of the Dothideomycetes. The new name Alectoria gowardii Lumbsch is proposed for Gowardia arctica P. Halonen, L. Myllys, S. Velmala & H. Hyva¨rinen (non Alectoria arctica Elenkin & Savicz). PART ONE. OUTLINE OF ASCOMYCOTA—2009 eleven orders, and numerous unclassified families. Eurotiomy- cetes includes two subclasses and six families. Laboulbeniomy- Introduction cetes has two orders, whereas Lecanoromycetes consists of three subclasses and ten orders and includes numerous The present classification is based in part on earlier versions unclassified
