Conidiocarpus Woron.

Conidiocarpus was initially identified as the asexual form of Phragmocapnias (Hughes 1976) and considered as a synonym for Phragmocapnias (Chomnunti et al. 2011, 2014, Hongsanan et al. 2015). Bose et al. (2014) followed Hughes (1976) and transferred Phragmocapnias species to Conidiocarpus following the rules of nomenclatural priority. However, Abdollahzadeh et al. (2020) recognized them as separate genera based on morphology and phylogeny. There are 14 epithets listed in Index Fungorum (2023) for Conidiocarpus . However, sequence data is available for only four species: Co. asiaticus, Co. caucasicus, Co. plumeriae, and Co. siamensis . Moreover, Co. philippinensis is classified as a member of Chaetocapnodium, and Co. betle is placed within Phragmocapnias (Abdollahzadeh et al. 2020) .
