Notes

The genus Vanakripa was originally established by Bhat and Kendrick (1993). So far, ten epithets for Vanakripa are listed in Index Fungorum (1 June 2022). Vanakripa menglensis is distinguished by its clavate to obpyriform conidia ( Hu et al. 2010). V. menglensis has been reported from Yunnan Province, China ( Hu et al. 2010).
