Neopestalotiopsis is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Sporocadaceae. The genus was published by Maharachch., K.D. Hyde & Crous in Studies in Mycology vol.79 on page 135 in 2014. The type species is Neopestalotiopsis protearum It was named after its morphological similarity to Pestalotiopsis. Neopestalotiopsis is widespread, occurring as saprobes or pathogens on various host plants (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2014, Farr & Rossman 2019). The genus is distinct from Pestalotiopsis in having versicolourous median cells. The conidia is either composed of two upper median cells that are darker than the lowest median cell and they have indistinct conidiophores. It was originally placed in family Pestalotiopsidaceae before that was absorbed into the family Sporocadaceae. Jaklitsch et al. (2016), synonymised Bartaliniaceae, Discosiaceae, Pestalotiopsidaceae and Robillardaceae, and then revived the older family name of Sporocadaceae to accommodate them (Crous et al. 2015). Pestalotiopsidaceae is still sometimes used. Species within this group commonly occurs on plants as endophytes, pathogens or saprobes (Jeewon et al. 2004, Liu et al. 2010, Hyde et al. 2016, Reddy et al. 2016, Shetty et al. 2016, Ran et al. 2017, Bezerra et al. 2018, Freitas et al. 2019). Current research showed them as plant pathogens causing stem blight, flower blight, twig dieback and fruit rot (Akinsanmi et al. 2016,<ref name="Akinsanmi2016">{{cite journal |last1=Akinsanmi |first1=O.A. |last2=Nisa |first2=S. |last3=Jeffego |first3=O.S. |last4=Drenth |first4=A. |title=Multiple Pestalotiopsis and Neopestalotiopsis species cause flower blight of macadamia in Australia. |journal=Phytopathology |date=2016 |volume=106 |issue=12 |pages=122‑122}}</ref> Borrero et al. 2017, Mahapatra et al. 2018, Rodríguez-Gálvez et al. 2020). In the past few years, China and Thailand are places where most species of Neopestalotiopsis were found (Norphanphoun et al. 2019). Pestalotiopsis-like fungi are widely distributed in many plants and include endophytes, pathogens and saprobes. Five strains of Neopestalotiopsis were isolated from diseased leaves of Rhapis excelsa (Principes, Palmae), Rhododendron simsii and Rhododendron championiae (Ericales, Ericaceae) and Erythropalum scandens, (Santalales, Olacaceae) in southern China. Species Neopestalotiopsis clavispora has been found on the fallen leaves of Quercus rubra in Auburn, Alabamain USA, and on the dead leaves of species of Magnolia in Guangxi Province, China. It was found that Neopestalotiopsis clavispora causes leaf blight on strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa ). In 2021, Neopestalotiopsis spp. were found causing leaf spot and fruit rot on strawberry in Florida, USA. Distribution It is has a widespread, cosmopolitan distribution, including Mexico, Peru, Alabama, USA, India, Sri Lanka, China, Thailand. New Zealand, and Australia. Species
