Index Fungorum number: IF 10383; Mycobank number: MB 10383; Facesoffungi number: FoF 05409; 22 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), 9 species with sequence data.

Type species – Vermiculariopsiella immersa (Desm.) Bender

Notes – Torrend (1912) and Höhnel (1918a) separately introduced Vermiculariopsis. Bender (1932) synonymized Vermiculariopsis (1918) and established Vermiculariopsiella. Vermiculariopsiella endophytica and V. pteridis were linked with the Echinosphaeria sexual morph in culture (Puja et al. 2006, Dhargalkar & Bhat 2009). Crous et al. (2014a) introduced V. dichapetali and placed it in Microascales incertae sedis (Hypocreomycetidae). Maharachchikumbura et al. (2015, 2016b) followed this treatment. Crous et al. (2016b) introduced another V. acacia and V. eucalypti and assigned the genus to Chaetosphaeriaceae based on LSU sequence data. Hernández-Restrepo et al. (2017) transferred Vermiculariopsiella to Vermiculariopsiellaceae based on SSU, LSU, and ITS sequence data.
