Typus.

CHINA • Sichuan Province, Chengdu City, Dujiangyan City, Longchi National Forest Park; elevation 702 m a. s. l.; 31°00.18'N, 103°38.77'E; on decaying branches of an unidentified herbaceous plant; 5 Oct 2021; Y. P. Chen & W. H. Tian LC 64 (holotype HUEST 24.0068) .

Notes.

There is a discrepancy between the protologue and the accompanying figures of P. sichuanense (Chen et al. 2025: fig. 3). While the conidia were described as subhyaline to pale brown, 0–1 - septate, and finely verrucose, these features are not clear in the original image. The conidia appear hyaline, smooth, and 1–3 - septate in the figures. Species with ornamented conidia are relatively rare in Pleurophragmium and currently include P. parvisporum, P. sichuanense along with two other species: P. clavatum (Ma et al. 2014) and P. verruculosum (Tiwari 1969) .
