Neotyphodium is a genus of endophytic fungi symbiotic with grasses. It used to contain a number of asexually reproducing species colonising the leaves of cool-season grasses, but most of them, including the type species N. coenophialum, have been merged into the genus Epichloë in 2014. Two species of unclear position are exclude from this treatment:[1]
- Neotyphodium chilense from Chile should be treated as Acremonium chilense since the previous transfer to Neotyphodium is untested.
- Neotyphodium starrii is closely related to N. coenophialum,[2] but the taxonomic status (whether it is a distinct species or not) within Epicloë is unclear (nomen dubium).
