In earlier studies, this species was identified as Sphaeropsis variabilis and it was different from Sphaeropsis in having long conidiomatal necks on PNA, aggregated in dense clusters of conidiomata on OA (Yang et al., 2016). This species is having conidia up to 3-septa. Phylogenetically Oblongocollomyces close to Alanphillipsia.
