Phaeoramularia hachijoensis and Ph. kellermaniana are two closely related saprophytic hyphomycetes, morphologically as well as ecologically distinct from true phytopathogenic Phaeoramularia species. They are placed in Cladophialophora. C. brevicatenata spec. nov. is a new species close to C. kellermaniana. Cladophialophora is related to Parapleurotheciopsis, Polyscytalum, Retroconis, Septonema and Xylohypha. Ramularia, Phaeoramularia and allied genera are anamorphs of Mycosphaerella. The teleomorphs of C. hachijoensis (Matsushima) comb. nov. and C. brevicatenata spec. nov., formed in pure culture, belong, however, to Capronia (incl. Herpotrichiella), viz. Herpotrichiella (Capronia) hytrioides Dugan, R. G. Roberts & Hanlin and Capronia hanliniana spec. nov., respectively.
