Stemonitopsis is a genus of slime molds in the family Amaurochaetaceae. [1] First circumscribed by Norwegian botanist Elly Nannenga-Bremekamp in 1967 as a subgenus of Comatricha, [2] she later elevated the grouping to generic status in 1975. [3] The type species is Stemonitopsis hyperopta, which was originally described by Charles Meylan in 1919 as Stemonitis hyperopta. [4]
As of June 2016 [update], there are 10 species in the genus. [5]
