Isolated from soil. Sexual morph: Ascomata perithecial, brown to black, gregarious or scattered, superfcial to immersed, pyriform to subglobose, membranaceous, ostiolate, with papilla. Peridium comprising brown to hyaline cells of textura angularis or textura globulosa, membranaceous. Asci 8-spored, unitunicate, cylindrical, short pedicellate, apex rounded, with J- apical ring. Ascospores hyaline when young becoming dark brown or black, oval to ellipsoidal, aseptate, with a germ pore at each end, with irregular reticulate patterns. Asexual morph: Undetermined (adapted from Udagawa 1980; García et al. 2004). Known hosts and distribution: On soil in Philippines and Thailand (type locality) (Udagawa 1980; García et al. 2004).

Notes: Pseudoneurospora amorphoporcata was considered similar to Copromyces bisporus and Emblemospora monotrema in having ornamented ascospores (García et al. 2004). However, Pseudoneurospora can be distinguished from C. bisporus because the latter lacks an apical ring in the asci and has globose ascospores with one germ pore. It also can be diferentiated from E. monotrema which has ascospores with plate-like wrinkles (Lundqvist 1972; Jeng and Krug 1976). In this study, P. amorphoporcata is basal to P. canariensis and ‘Copromyces octosporus’ .
