Notes – Gibellulopsis was introduced by Batista & da Silva Maia (1959) and reused by Zare et al. (2007) with G. piscis as its type species. Currently the genus comprises seven species (Zare et al. 2007, Hirooka et al. 2014, Giraldo & Crous 2019, Index Fungorum 2020). This genus is characterized by conidiophores arising from submerged or superficial hyphae, which are erect, mostly terminal, usually 1–2 times branched, bearing one or two verticillate branches at a node. Conidiogenous cells have inconspicuous collarettes and distinct periclinal thickenings at the conidiogenous locus. Conidia are elongate ellipsoidal to cylindrical, 1- or 2-celled, hyaline, smooth-walled and produced in slimy heads. Chlamydospores are lateral, terminal or intercalary, pale to dark brown and form singly or in chains (Zare et al. 2007, Giraldo & Crous 2019).
Type species: Gibellulopsis piscis Bat. & H. Maia.
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Gibellulopsis.
