 Later contributions to the systematics of "Epithele" were made by Jülich (1976), Boidin and Lanquetin (1983), Boidin and Gilles (2000), and Hjortstam and Ryvarden (2005).In 2013, Karen Nakasone emended the generic concept to include "Epithele bambusae" (a species without hyphal pegs), and accepted 17 species., Index Fungorum accepts 24 species of "Epithele"
