Type species – Pseudoxylomyces elegans (Gohet al.) Kaz. Tanaka & K. Hiray., Stud Mycol 82: 126 (2015).

≡ Xylomyces elegans Goh, W.H. Ho, K.D. Hyde & C.K.M. Tsui, Mycol. Res. 101(11): 1324 (1997).

Notes – Pseudoxylomyces elegans was found in aquatic habitats on decaying wood (Tanaka et al. 2015, Phukhamsakda et al. 2016). The genus is characterized by dematiaceous mycelia and conidiophores, with thick-walled, terminal or intercalary, septate conidia, which are very similar to the chlamydospore structures in Longipedicellata aptrootii (Phukhamsakda et al. 2016).
