Notes – Thuemenella is characterized by having bright yellow stromata, green ascospores and a nodulisporium-like asexual morph. Several recent studies have transferred this genus to Hypoxylaceae based on its nodulisporium-like asexual morph and ITS and tub2 similarity of a sequence derived from Thuemenella cubispora with those of Hypoxylon rubiginosum (Miller et al. 2007, Wendt et al. 2018).

Type species: Thuemenella cubispora (Ellis & Holw.) Boedijn, Persoonia 3(1): 2 (1964)

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Thuemenella.
