Notes – The asexual morph of Brachyconidiellopsis is hyphomycetous and species are saprobes. The genus is characterized by sporodochial to synnematal conidiomata, with a narrow, dark brown to black stipe, with a slight fasciculate fertile apex. It was described as coprophilous on dung of an unidentified Cervidae in Nepal (Decock et al. 2004). The genus was accepted in Microascaceae by Sandoval-Denis et al. (2016a), Maharachchikumbura et al. (2015, 2016b) and Wijayawardene et al. (2017a, 2018a).
