Note：
The genus Verticimonosporium was eastablished by Matsushima (1971), with type species V. diffractum, characterized by macronematous conidiophores, hyaline, smooth, globose or subglobose conidia borne on verticillate conidiogenous cells. V. diffractum also was reported by Matsushima (1991) from decaying Palmae-petioles in Peru.
