MycoBank number: MB 105294; Index Fungorum number: IF 105294; Facesoffungi number: FoF 13475; 12 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), 5 species with sequence data

Type species – Drechmeria coniospora (Drechsler) W. Gams & H.B. Jansson

Notes – The genus was introduced to accommodate two hyphomycetes species (Gams & Jansson 1985). Quandt et al. (2014) placed ten species (most of them pathogens of protozoans) in the genus based on phylogenetic analyses, including species of Haptocillium and Cordyceps gunnii. Species of the genus infect protozoa and have crescent-shaped, helical conidia (Gams & Jansson 1985, Quandt et al. 2014).
