Annellosympodiella was introduced by Crous et al. (2014) based on morphological and molecular studies (ITS and LSU), with Annellosympodiella juniperi as the type species. The genus is named Annellosympodiella due to its morphological similarity to Annellosympodia and is characterized by conidiomata as sporodochial, erumpent, brown with brown subcylindrical cells; conidiophores are subcylindrical, brown, densely aggregated, verruculose to warty, rejuvenating percurrently, septate; conidiogenous cells are integrated, terminal, proliferating percurrently with irregular annellations, brown, verruculose, and long brown tubular collarettes; conidia are subcylindrical to narrowly obclavate, straight to curved, brown, verruculose to warty, guttulate, euseptate; hilum truncate, thickened, and slightly darkened (Crous et al. 2014). 

Type species: Annellosympodiella juniperi Crous & Assefa 

Other accepted species: This genus is monotypic.
