Classification: Phaeosphaeriaceae, Pleosporales, Pleosporomycetidae, Dothideomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi.

Neoophiobolus was introduced by Mapook et al. (2020a) to accommodate the type species N. chromolaenae based mainly on a phylogenetic analysis and its ophiobolus-like morphological characteristics. Until now, only the type species was known.

Type species: Neoophiobolus filiformisporus J.F. Zhang & Jian K. Liu.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Neoophiobolus.
