Notes – The hyphomycetous genus Cryptophiale was introduced by Pirozynski (1968) based on C. kakombensis. Cryptophiale species are saprobes occur on decaying leaves, wood, roots and bark (Pirozynski 1968, Goh & Hyde 1996). Species of the genus are characterised by unbranched or apically dichotomous or verticillate, setiform, conidiophores, monophialidic, obscured conidiogenous cells in two rows and unicellular to multiseptate, hyaline conidia produced in slimy masses on one side of the conidiophore (Pirozynski 1968, Seifert et al. 2011, Yang et al. 2018a). 

Type species: Cryptophiale kakombensis Piroz., Canad. J. Bot. 46: 1124 (1968).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Cryptophiale.
