Crumenulopsis is a genus with rather dark long-haired apothecia growing on xeric coniferous bark. The genus resembles Cenangiopsis quercicola in that it forms fragile apothecia. The type species, C. pinicola (Rebent.) J.W. Groves could not be included in the analysis due to the lack of a recent collection. Crumenulopsis sororia is a parasite causing pine dieback (Butin 1989), which forms black globular pycnidia in culture (van Vloten and Gremmen 1953).

Type species: Crumenulopsis pinicola (Rebent.) J.W. Groves, Canad. J. Bot. 47: 48 (1969).
