Neocamarosporium was introduced to accommodate Neocamarosporium goegapense collected from South Africa, that morphologically resembles Camarosporium (Crous et al. 2014). In a recent study, Wanasinghe et al. (2017) expanded this genus to include its sexual morphs. Currently there are 18 accepted species in Neocamarosporium (Wanasinghe et al. 2017).
Type species: Neocamarosporium goegapense Crous & M.J. Wingf., in Crous et al., Persoonia 32: 273 (2014).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Neocamarosporium.
