==History==
The genus ''Sphaeropsis'' was introduced by [Saccardo](/source/Pier_Andrea_Saccardo) in 1880 (for several species of ''[Diplodia](/source/Diplodia)'' with brown, aseptate conidia), with ''Sphaeropsis visci'' named as the [type species](/source/type_species).<ref name=Sacc/> ''Sphaeropsis'' was later found to be the [asexual morph](/source/Teleomorph%2C_anamorph_and_holomorph) of ''[Phaeobotryosphaeria](/source/Phaeobotryosphaeria)'' (Phillips et al. 2008,<ref name="Phillips2008">{{cite journal |last1=Phillips |first1=A.J.L. |last2=Alves |first2=A. |last3=Pennycook |first3=S.R. |last4=Johnston |first4=P.R. |last5=Ramaley |first5=A. |last6=Akulov |first6=A. |last7=Crous |first7=P.W. |title=Resolving the phylogenetic and taxonomic status of dark-spored teleomorph genera in the Botryosphaeriaceae |journal=Persoonia |date=December 2008 |volume=21 |pages=29–55 |doi=10.3767/003158508X340742 |pmid=20396576|pmc=2846129 }}</ref> 2013;<ref name="Phillips2013"/> Wijayawardene et al. 2017).<ref name="Wijayawardene2017">{{cite journal |last1=Wijayawardene |first1=N.

==Etymology==
''Sphaeropsis'' is derived from the [New Latin](/source/Neo-Latin) from ''sphaer'' meaning sphere or globe and ''opsis'' meaning appearance, vision.
