Meruliopsis is a genus of poroid crust fungi. The genus was circumscribed by Russian mycologist Appollinaris Semenovich Bondartsev in 1959.
Although traditionally classified in the family Phanerochaetaceae,[1] recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of Meruliopsis in the Irpicaceae.[2][3][4]
