Notes – This genus morphologically resembles Teratosphaeria sensu stricto. However, Xenoteratosphaeria is ‘distinct in that in culture hyphae terminate in brown, multicellular chlamydospore-like structures’ (Quaedvlieg et al. 2014). See description and illustration in Crous et al. (2008) and Quaedvlieg et al. (2014).
