Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank.

Classification: Xylariales, Xylariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi

On leaves of living plants. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Hyphomycetous. Mycelium consisting of branched, septate, pale brown hyphae. Conidiophores solitary or in clusters, flexuous or erect, arising from superficial hyphae, rejuvenating percurrently, with cylindrical stipe, brown, smooth, thick-walled, mostly unbranched. Conidiogenous cells terminal, cylindrical, brown, scars truncate, not thickened. Conidia solitary, obclavate, brown, subobtuse at apex, truncate at base, euseptate, smooth-walled (adapted from Crous et al. 2017a).

Notes: Pseudosporidesmiaceae, introduced by Crous et al. (2017a), included two species of Pseudosporidesmium and a taxon tentatively identified as Repetophragma inflatum (GenBank number DQ408576), of which the characters could not be confirmed. Pseudosporidesmiaceae is assigned to Xylariales (Xylariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes) based on phylogenetic analysis (Su et al. 2016b, Crous et al. 2017a).

Type genus: Pseudosporidesmium K.D. Hyde & McKenzie.
