Abstract
Neohypodiscus is erected to replace Hypodiscus Lloyd, a later homonym. Neohypodiscus rickii, the type species, N. irradians, and N. cerebrinus are accepted. Features of the genus include brown one- to three-celled ascospores with hyaline polar caps and sometimes with a pore in one end; asci with a distinct, but nonamyloid apical ring; and massive stromata with a hard exterior layer and fibrous or woody interior. No anamorph is known. The taxonomic position of Neohypodiscus is unsettled, but it is presently placed in the Amphisphaeriaceae sensu lato.
