    Neolepisorus is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).

    Taxonomy

    Neolepisorus was first described by Ren-Chang Ching in 1940. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2019 suggested that Neolepisorus was one of a group of closely related genera in the subfamily Microsoroideae, a group the authors termed "Lepisorus sensu lato". It species were embedded in a clade in which none of the genera appeared to be monophyletic:

    Lepisorus s.l.

    Lemmaphyllum

    Lepidomicrosorium + Neocheiropteris + Neolepisorus + Tricholepidium

    Lepisorus s.s.

    Paragramma (as Lepisorus longifolius)

    Species

    As of February 2020, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World recognized the following species:

    As of February 2020, Plants of the World Online did not accept the genus, sinking it into Neocheiropteris, although placing some of its species in Microsorum.
