 It was later renamed as "Curvularia inaequalis", by Karl Boedijin.During his taxonomic organization and grouping of the "Curvularia" species, Boedijin recognized a similarity between the conidia of "C. inaequalis" and of the ‘"lunata"’ "Curvularia" group.Recognition of the three-septate curved conidia motivated the introduction of the now popularized name.
