Acroconidiella is characterized by macronematous, mononematous, mostly unbranched conidiophores, polytretic, terminal conidiogenous cells, and ellipsoidal, septate conidia (Ellis 1971,1976, Prasher & Verma 2015). Prasher & Verma (2015) provided morphological comparison of Acroconidiella species. Fresh collections are required to resolve its phylogenetic placement, since no molecular data are available for this genus.
Type species: Acroconidiella tropaeoli (T.E.T. Bond) J.C. Lindq. & Alippi, Darwiniana 13 (2–4): 613 (1964).
≡ Heterosporium tropaeoli T.E.T. Bond, Ceylon J. Sci., Sect. A 12: 185 (1947).
