Neochlamydotubeufia was introduced with sexual and asexual morphs which are characterized by superficial ascomata with tapering, unbranched, thick-walled setae and fusiform, multi-septate, hyaline to pale brown ascospores and broadly oval to ellipsoid chlamydospores (Lu et al. 2018b). These characters are similar to Chlamydotubeufia and Dictyospora, but phylogeny separates them as different genera (Boonmee et al. 2011; Brahmanage et al. 2017; Lu et al. 2018b). The sexual and asexual morphs of N. fusiformis were separately collected from natural submerged wood and linked with molecular evidence (Lu et al. 2018b). Neochlamydotubeufia khunkornensis (Boonmee & K.D. Hyde) Y.Z. Lu was collected from dead wood in terrestrial habitats and formed asexual morph in MEA (Boonmee et al. 2011). Lu et al. (2018b) found chlamydospores of N. khunkornensis from submerged wood. Neochlamydotubeufia fusiformis has smaller ascomata than N. khunkornensis and they are separated by molecular data (Lu et al. 2018b).

Type species: Neochlamydotubeufia fusiformis Y.Z. Lu, Boonmee & K.D. Hyde
