Schubert et al. (2007a) assigned Cladosporium chlorocephalum to a new genus Dichocladosporium. However, Dichocladosporium was regarded as a synonym under Graphiopsis by Braun et al. (2008). Since all the Graphiopsis species were introduced before 1936, none of them has molecular data except G. chlorocephala. The type species is characterized by dimorphic fruiting bodies (Schubert et al. 2007a, Braun et al. 2008).
