Saprobic, pathogenic or endophytic on soil or decaying living and dead leaves, stems. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiomata immersed, globose, unilocular, with central ostiole. Conidiogenous cells thin- walled with of 3–6 layers, composed of flattened cells of textura angularis. Hamathecium numerous, hyphae-like, aseptate, flexuous, paraphyses, intermingled among conidiophores. Conidiogenous cells sub-cylindrical to ampulliform, hyaline, smooth. Conidia contain micro- or macroconidia, subcylindrical, hyaline, aseptate, smooth-walled, guttulate, apex obtuse, base truncate; apical appendages hair-like, flexuous, unbranched, fragile, flexuous, unbranched.
Type: Pseudorobillarda M. Morelet.
Notes: Pseudorobillardaceae (Dothideomycetes) was informally introduced by Crous et al. (2018a) based on morphology and phylogeny. Later Pseudorobillardaceae was formally introduced by Crous et al. (2019a) to accommodate Pseudorobillarda. In previous studies this genus was placed in Dothideomycetes genera incertae sedis (Tangthirasunun et al. 2014; Wijayawardene et al. 2018).
