Brachiampulla was established by Réblová et al. (2021) with B. verticillata as the type species based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, tef1-α, and rpb2 sequence data. The type species was isolated as a Saprobe on fallen leaves of Nothofagus fusca (Nothofagaceae) from the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand. Brachiampulla is a monotypic genus and characterized by macronematous, mononematous, erect, setiform, unbranched, pigmented conidiophores; indeterminate polyphialidic, discrete, lateral, integrated conidiogenous cells; hyaline, aseptate, lunate, hyaline conidia aggregated in slimy heads (Réblová et al. 2021). Only one species is listed in Index Fungorum (2023).
