Notes – Paradevriesia was established by Crous et al. (2019b) based on phylogenetic analyses and a different ecology to members of Devriesia. This genus is similar to Devriesia sensu stricto which usually occurs in soil, and is thermotolerant. However, Paradevriesia species are found on plants and rock surfaces and are not thermotolerant. Three strains of Paradevriesia clustered within Extremaceae in our phylogenetic analyses. This genus is characterized by macro- and micronematous conidiophores, blastic, medium brown, guttulate, subcylindrical conidiogenous cells with scars, and catenate, subcylindrical to narrowly ellipsoidal, septate conidia with a hilum (Crous et al. 2019b).
Type species: Paradevriesia americana (Crous & Dugan) Crous, Fungal Systematics and Evolution 3: 98 (2019).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Paradevriesia.
