Dothiorella was introduced by Saccardo (1880) with D. pyrenophora as the type species. The asexual morph of Dothiorella species is more prevalent and characterized by brown and 1-septate conidia. Sexual morphs of Dothiorella are characterised by pigmented, septate ascospores. There are 257 morphological species of Dothiorella but only 44 species have molecular data (Hongsanan et al. 2020b). Dothiorella species are endophytes, pathogens and saprobes on a wide variety of woody hosts (Crous et al. 2006, Hyde et al. 2013, Liu et al. 2012, Phillips et al. 2013). 

Type species: Dothiorella pyrenophora Berk. ex Sacc., Michelia 2(no. 6): 5 (1880).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Dothiorella.
