Type species – Brunneochlamydosporium nepalense (W. Gams) Giraldo López & Crous

Notes – Based on phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, ITS, tef1 and rpb2 loci, Brunneochlamydosporium was introduced by Giraldo & Crous (2019) to accommodate the new combinations Brunneochlamydosporium nepalense, B. cibotii and the new species B. macroclavatum, and B. terrestre. The genus is characterized by enteroblastic, monophialidic, sometimes polyphialidic, terminal, lateral, (sub)cylindrical to subulate, hyaline, conidiogenous cells, with conspicuous collarette and a periclinal thickening at the conidiogenous locus. Conidia are ellipsoidal, 1-celled, hyaline, thin- and smooth-walled, containing two guttules, arranged in slimy heads. Chlamydospores are lateral, terminal, intercalary, solitary, in pairs or short chains, 1– 2-celled, pale to dark brown, smooth and thick-walled (Giraldo & Crous 2019).
