Jattaea has long-necked ascomata containing hyaline, cylindrical paraphyses, branched ascogenous hyphae, clavate asci and oblong to subglobose ascospores. The asexual morph has always been referred to phialophora-like (Damm et al. 2008). The monophyletic Jattaea is related to Calosphaeria and Togniniella within Calosphaeriaceae based on multi-gene analysis (Réblová et al. 2015b).

Type species: Jattaea algeriensis Berl., Icon. fung. (Abellini) 3(1-2): 6 (1900).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Jattaea.
