The Gilbertellaceae Benny (Mucorales) is proposed for a single genus, Gilbertella, characterized by producing sporangia with a persistent wall dehiscing via a longitudinal suture, sporangiospores with apical, hyaline appendages, and Mucor-type zygospores. The relationship of Gilbertellaceae to Choanephoraceae and other families of the Mucorales, and Zygomycetes, is discussed.
