Notes: Tainosphaeriella was segregated from Tainosphaeria to accommodate Tainosphaeria aquatica and Tainosphaeria thailandensis based on phylogenetic analyses (Réblová et al. 2021e). The genus is characterized by mononematous, unbranched conidiophores, monophialidic conidiogenous cells with campanulate to almost disk-like collarettes and 1–3-septate conidia with a setula at both ends.
Type species: Tainosphaeriella aquatica (X.D. Yu, C.X. Li & H. Zhang) Réblová & Hern.-Restr., J Fungi 7(12, no. 1097): 90 (2021).
