Notes – Wang et al. (2015b) synonymised this genus under Stachybotrys, however, Lombard et al. (2016) resurrected it based on multigene phylogenetic analysis. The genus is characterised by mononematous, unbranched, septate conidiophores, phialidic conidiogenous cells and aseptate, ellipsoidal to globose to reniform conidia (Lombard et al. 2016). The conidia of this genus sometimes are in dry or slimy chains (Lombard et al. 2016).
