Classification: Tubeufiaceae, Tubeufiales, Incertae sedis, Dothideomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi.

Notes: Pseudotubeufia was established by Ma et al. (2023b) to accommodate Ps. hyalospora and Ps. laxispora based on multi-gene (LSU, ITS, tef1-α, and rpb2) phylogenetic analysis and morphological evidence. In this study, we introduce a new species Ps. dematiolaxispora based on both morphology and molecular data. Currently, Pseudotubeufia comprises three species, Ps. dematiolaxispora, Ps. hyalospora, and Ps. laxispora, which were found from freshwater and terrestrial habitat in China (Ma et al. 2023b).

Type species: Pseudotubeufia laxispora Jian Ma & Y.Z. Lu, J. Fungi 9 (7, no. 742): 8 (2023).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Pseudotubeufia.
