Togniniella has glabrous ascomata with branched ascogenous hyphae, paraphyses longer than asci and suballantoid ascospores. After re-examining the type material of T. acerosa, Réblová (2011) concluded that Togniniella microspora (synonym of Ceratostomella microspora) is identical to T. acerosa and accepted T. microspora as the only species in Togniniella. Réblová et al. (2004) and Réblová (2011) found that Togniniella constitutes an independent clade and is related to Calosphaeria. In this study, Flabellascus is closely related with this genus based on tub2-ITS-actLSU analysis.

Type species: Togniniella microspora (Ellis & Everh.) Réblová.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Togniniella
