Notes– Pseudobeltraniais characterised by unbranched conidiophores arising from radially lobed basal cells, polyblastic and denticulate conidiogenous cells and biconic, apiculate conidia with a transverse band, lacking of setae and swollen separating cells (Seifert et al. 2011). A key to species was provided by Heredia et al. (2002). Pseudobeltrania cedrelaewas reported to be a pathogen which can cause leaf spot on Cedrela fissilis(Milagres et al. 2018).

Type species: Pseudobeltrania cedrelae Henn., Hedwigia 41: 310 (1902).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Pseudobeltrania.
