Notes – This genus contains bamboo specific endophytic pathogens (Oguchi 2001, Tanaka et al. 2003). The species produce multi-septate ascospores with no obvious part spores (Oguchi 2001). Neoclaviceps and Cepsiclava were combined under Aciculosporium based on phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses (Píchová et al. 2018).

Type species: Aciculosporium take I. Miyake, Bot. Mag., Tokyo 22(Beibl.): (307) (1908).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Aciculosporium.
