Index Fungorum number: IF 4483; 2 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020).
Saprobic leaves or stems. Sexual morph: Ascomata perithecial, scattered or gregarious, semi-immersed to superficial, globose to subglobose, brown or black, membranaceous, tuberculate, inconspicuous ostioles surrounded by long setae. Setae composed of filiform, brown, septate, tapering hyphae, with metallic iridescence. Peridium composed of membranaceous, brown to hyaline cells of textura epidermoidea to textura angularis to textura prismatica. Paraphyses absent. Asci 8-spored, unitunicate, clavate, pedicellate, apex rounded, apical ring indistinct, evanescent. Ascospores bi-seriate, hyaline, fusiform, straight or slightly curved, 0–1-septate, faintly striate, guttulate. Asexual morph: Undetermined (copied from Huang et al. 2021).
Type species: Pseudorhynchia polyrrhyncha (Penz. & Sacc.) Höhn., Sber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-naturw. Kl., Abt. 1 118: 1206 (1909)
Notes: Pseudorhynchia was established by von Höhnel (1909a) based on Ceratostomella polyrrhyncha. The second species, P. mauritiana, was collected from leaves of Cordemoya integrifolia in Mauritius. They are characterized by ascomata with ostioles surrounded by long setae and fusiform ascospores (Penzig & Saccardo 1897, Dulymamode et al. 2001). Lumbsch & Huhndorf (2007) placed this genus in Niessliaceae, but no sequence data is available (copied from Huang et al. 2021).
