Classification: Neodevriesiaceae, Capnodiales, Dothideomycetidae, Dothideomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi.

Neodevriesia was first treated as a member of Teratosphaeriaceae by Ruibal et al. (2011), and Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) placed it in a new family Neodevriesiaceae typified by Neodevriesia hilliana. Neodevriesia sexual morph is characterized by immersed or superficial pseudothecial globose ascomata, 8-spored, bitunicate, obovoid to broadly ellipsoid, short pedicellate, thick-walled, apically rounded, straight or slightly curved asci, ellipsoid, hyaline to dark brown ascospores, and asexual morphs are characterized by medium brown, solitary, unbranched, septate conidiophores, terminal, proliferating sympodially, unthickened, hila-flattened conidiogenous cells, guttulate, subcylindrical ramoconidia, subcylindrical to narrowly fusoid-ellipsoidal or obclavate, additional conidia with truncate ends, mostly in unbranched chain conidia (Quaedvlieg et al. 2014, Yuan et al. 2020). The morphological characteristics of Neodevriesia are similar to those of Devriesia, however Devriesia exhibits heat resistance and forms chlamydospores, which differs from devriesia-like species (Quaedvlieg et al. 2014).
