Notes – Theissen & Sydow (1915) described Camarotella as having thick-walled asci and hyaline, 4-celled ascospores. Petrak (1940) revised this genus, while Clements & Shear (1931) and Wehmeyer (1975) treated Camarotella, but ignored the changes introduced by Petrak (1940). Hyde & Cannon (1999), who examined parasitic fungi causing tar spots and similar diseases on palms, revaluated and accepted the genus.
Type species: Camarotella astrocaryae (Rehm) Theiss. & Syd., Annls mycol. 13(3/4): 370 (1915).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Camarotella.
