Type species – Pseudoscopulariopsis schumacheri (E.C. Hansen) Sandoval-Denis Gené & Guarro

Notes –Sandoval-Denis et al. (2016b) found that species of Pseudoscopulariopsis formed a distinct clade basal to the Scopulariopsis clade. Pseudoscopulariopsis species are characterised by hyaline to subhyaline conidiogenous cells, which usually comprise annellides arising from swollen conidiophores (Sandoval-Denis et al. 2016b). The sexual morphs are undetermined. The genus was accepted in Microascaceae by Kirk et al. (2013), Sandoval-Denis et al. (2016a,b), Maharachchikumbura et al. (2015, 2016b) and Wijayawardene et al. (2017a, 2018a).
