Abstract
The morphological development of the croziers and asci of four species of the Balansiae were examined and compared with other members of the order Clavicipitales to evaluate the potential usefulness of these developmental sequences as a taxonomic criterion at the family or subfamily level. Balansia epichloë, B. henningsiana, and Atkinsonella hypoxylon were very similar in all details of development. Myriogenospora atramentosa does differ in some characteristics, but is included in the single family Clavicipitaceae with the other species examined. Division of the order beyond the single family Clavicipitaceae is not supported by our data.
