Basionym. Subplenodomus iridicola Crous & Denman, in Crous, Schumacher, Wingfield, Akulov, Denman, Roux, Braun, Burgess, Carnegie, Vaczy , Guatimosim, Schwartsburd, Barreto, Hernandez-Restrepo , Lombard & Groenewald, Fungal Systematics and Evolution 1: 207. 2018. Notes. In the phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 2 ) Subplenodomus iridicola is placed remote from the other species of Subplenodomus , but is sister species to Alloleptosphaeria italica with maximum support; S. iridicola is therefore transferred to the genus Alloleptosphaeria .
