Notes.

The genus Phaeosphaeriopsis was introduced by Câmara et al. (2003) to accommodate Paraphaeosphaeria -like taxa, viz. P. agavensis A.W. Ramaley, M.E. Palm & M.E. Barr, P. glaucopunctata (Grev.) Shoemaker & C.E. Babc., P. nolinae A.W. Ramaley, P. obtusispora (Speg.) O.E. Erikss, Phaeosphaeriopsis amblyspora A. W. Ramaley and Phaeosphaeriopsis amblyspora A. W. Ramaley. The genus is typified by P. glaucopunctata and characterized by having immersed, sub-epidermal, globose to subglobose to pyriform ascomata, cylindric asci and septate, punctate or verrucose ascospores ( Câmara et al. 2003; Phookamsak et al. 2014; Thambugala et al. 2014; Tibpromma et al. 2017). Currently, 17 Phaeosphaeriopsis species are accepted in Index Fungorum (2020). In this paper, Phaeosphaeriopsis beaucarneae is introduced from Beaucarnea recurvata ( Asparagaceae ) as a new species and the sexual/asexual morph connection between strains isolated from the natural habitat was established based on molecular sequence data.
