Notes – Allelochaeta was considered as a synonym of Diploceras, one of the five groups of fungi into which the Seimatosporium complex was split by Nag Raj (1993). Based on a multi-gene phylogenetic study using the type species, Crous et al. (2018a) resurrected Allelochaeta. Members of this genus are characterized by mostly 3-septate, hyaline or pigmented, concolourous or versicolourous conidia, having branched or solitary, cellular or continuous appendages (Crous et al. 2018a). Crous et al. (2018a) discussed the conidial septation, appendage types and pigmentation loss and gain during the evolution of Allelochaeta species.
Type species: Allelochaeta gaubae Petr., Sydowia 9(1-6): 464 (1955).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Allelochaeta.
