Dayarathne et al. (2020a) described this species from Rhizophora sp. collected in Thailand. Morphologically, this species is similar to Kallichroma tethys . Although Dayarathne et al. (2020a) distinguished Neocosmospora rhizophorae from K. tethys in having papillate ascomata, lacking a clypeoid ascomata, and an ascospore sheath, no ascospore sheath was actually reported for either K. tethys or K. glabra ( Kohlmeyer and Volkmann-Kohlmeyer 1993) . Also, a nucleotide BLAST search of 18 S, 28 S and ITS rDNA sequences available for N. rhizophorae resulted in predominantly Fusarium spp. The validity of this new species is doubtful.
