Patellaria is characterized by superficial, black, apothecioid ascomata, with a greenish-black epithecium formed from the branched and swollen paraphyses, bitunicate, fissitunicate asci, and hyaline, clavate to cylindrical, phragmo-septate ascospores (Kutorga & Hawksworth 1997). However, Patellaria species are vary in the number of asci, spore size, and number of ascospores within the asci. Sequence data are available only for Patellaria atrata and P. quercus (Boehm et al. 2009a, b, Schoch et al. 2009, Suetrong & Jones 2006, Suetrong et al. 2009). Patellaria cf. atrata has been reported from various mangrove woody species collected in Hong Kong and Thailand (Suetrong et al. 2009). 

Type species: Patellaria atrata (Hedw.) Fr. 1822 (Designated by Clements & Shear, Gen. fung., Edn 2 (Minneapolis): 315. 1931).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Patellaria.
