Paraophiobolus was introduced by Phookamsak et al. (2017) to accommodate P. arundinis Phukhams., Phookamsak, Wanas., Camporesi & K.D. Hyde and P. plantaginis (Qing Tian, Camporesi & K.D. Hyde) Phookamsak Wanas. & K.D. Hyde. We follow the latest treatment and  updated account of Paraophiobolus in Phookamsak et al. (2017). Here, a novel species P. torilicola is introduced based on both morphology and phylogeny data.

Type species: Paraophiobolus arundinis Phukhams., Phookamsak, Wanas., Camporesi & K.D. Hyde.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Paraophiobolus.
