Many species formerly listed in Entyloma have been removed and are now placed in several orders. This study aims to clarify the framework of the genus Entyloma and the phylogeny of these plant parasitic smut fungi with molecular data. Analyses of LSU and ITS sequences are presented and support the monophyly of the order Entylomatales. The sequences show higher similarities within the examined species of Entyloma than within other smut families and genera, suggesting a recent radiation. Within the Entylomatales a cluster of anamorphic Tilletiopsis washingtonensis, T. lilacina and T. cremea collections is the sister group to Entyloma. The phylogenetic relationships in the genus Entyloma are a result of joint evolution with their hosts. The analyses of the sequence data show unresolved groups on Ranunculales and a well-supported group on Asteridae.
