Saprobic or pathogenic on living/dead leaf or opportunistic human-pathogenic. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiomata subglobose to ovoid, pale brown to brown solitary or confluent, without papillate and ostiolar neck. Pycnidial wall composed of thin-walled cells of textura angularis. Conidiogenous cells phialidic, hyaline, discrete or integrated in septate, acropleurogenous conidiophores. Conidia ovoid, cylindrical to allantoid, hyaline, aseptate, guttulate with smooth-walled

Notes: Pyrenochaetopsidaceae was introduced by Valenzuela-Lopez et al. (2018) based on both morphology and phylogeny support. The sexual morph is unknown for this family (de Gruyter et al. 2010, 2013, Valenzuela-Lopez et al. 2018).
