Hormisciomyces was established by Batista and Nascimento (1957) with the type species of Hormisciomyces prepusus. This genus is considered one of the asexual morphs of Euantennaria (Hughes 1972, 1974; Sivanesan 1984; Hyde et al. 2013; Wijayawardene et al. 2017b). Species of Hormisciomyces produce small, hyaline, thin-walled, phialoconidia, arising from a ring of phialidic cells (Hughes 1972, 1974). It differs from other genera by having ameroconidia within conidiophores and terminal whorls of globose phialides (Chomnunti et al. 2014).
