Crous et al. (2007a) introduced this hyphomycetous genus with P. columbiana as the type species. Subsequent studies showed that Penidiella-like taxa are polyphyletic in Teratosphaeriaceae thus several other genera were introduced viz. Parapenidiella, Penidiellomyces (Quaedvlieg et al. 2014). See description and illustration in Crous et al. (2007a) and Quaedvlieg et al. (2014).

Type species: Penidiella columbiana Crous & U. Braun, Stud. Mycol. 58: 18 (2007).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Penidiella.
