Vesiculophora diversiseptata is characterized by its conidiophores becoming scorpioid after successive subacroauxic extensions and monoblastic conidiogenous cells that produce heteroseptate, brown phragmoconidia; A. clavatum is distinguished by its ellipsoidal to clavate, 3-euseptate, brown conidia; and P. simile is characterized by its synnematous conidiomata with monotretic conidiogenous cells and brown, 3-11-eusepatate, mainly obclavate, verrucose conidia. Additionally, Pleurothecium leptospermi is transferred to Anapleurothecium.
