Type species – Neocucurbitaria unguis-hominis (Punith. & M.P. English) Wanas., E.B.G. Jones & K.D. Hyde, Mycosphere 8(3): 412 (2017).

Notes – Wanasinghe et al. (2017d) introduced Neocucurbitaria to accommodate N. acerina, N. unguis-hominis (syn. Pyrenochaeta unguis-hominis, the type species of that genus) and N. quercina (syn. Pyrenochaeta quercina). This is a well-established genus in Cucurbitariaceae with 22 species, all have DNA sequence data for molecular comparisons.
