Devriesia strelitziicola is the former name of Xenodevriesia strelitziicola which was introduced by Crous et al. (2009c). It contains devriesia-like and pseudocercospora-like taxa, but is phylogenetically distinct from both genera (Crous et al. 2009c, 2019b). This species differs from members of Devriesia in not producing chlamydospores (Crous et al. 2019b). Thus, D. strelitziicola was synonymized under the new genus Xenodevriesia and was placed in the new family Xenodevriesiaceae.
Type species: Xenodevriesia strelitziicola (Arzanlou & Crous) Crous.
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Xenodevriesia.
