Plokamidomyces was introduced by Batista et al. (1957) with the type species P. colensoi and considered the asexual morph of Trichopeltina asiatica. However, Hughes (1965) mentioned that phialophores of Plokamidomyces differ from setae in Trichopeltina mainly in an apical whorl of phialides, which produce minute hyaline phialospores (Hughes 1976). Sequence data of this genus also need to confirm the placement in Euantennariaceae.
