Bezerra et al. (2017) transferred six strains of Toxicocladosporium leucadendri to a new genus, Neocladosporium. Despite their distinct phylogenetic positions, Neocladosporium is distinguishable from Toxicocladosporium by its verruculose to warty ramoconidia (Bezerra et al. 2017).

Type species: Neocladosporium leucadendri (Crous) J.D.P. Bezerra, Sand.-Den., SouzaMotta & Crous, IMA Fungus 8 (1): 87 (2017).
