Notes – Crous & Groenewald (2013) showed that Apiospora is the sexual morph of Arthrinium. Crous & Groenewald (2013) placed the younger sexual typified name, i.e. Apiospora under the older asexual typified name. This adoption was followed in subsequent publications by Dai et al. (2016), Maharachchikumbura et al. (2016b) and Wijayawardene et al. (2016b). Molecular data has proved that Arthrinium is a speciose genus (Dai et al. 2017, Wang et al. 2018, Pintos et al. 2019). We introduce a new holomorph species, Arthrinium neogarethjonesii from bamboo. 

Type species: Arthrinium caricicola Kunze & J.C. Schmidt 1817 (Designated by Hughes, Canad. J. Bot. 36: 736. 1958).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Arthrinium.
