A revision of the anamorph genus Pseudospiropes is made using the morpholog
y of the conidiogenous loci and conidial septation as circumscribing charac
ters. Three new genera Minimelanolocus anam. gen. nov., Nigrolentilocus ana
m. gen. nov., and Matsushimiella anam. gen. nov, are proposed for previousl
y described taxa no longer fitting under our current Pseudospiropes generic
concept. Dichotomous keys are provided for all but the excluded taxa. (C)
