The genus was established with a single species T. thailandicum. Translucidithyrium is similar to Myriangiaceae and Schizothyriaceae, but differs in lacking a network-like structure surrounding locules (Zeng et al. 2018b). In the phylogenetic analysis Translucidithyrium clustered with other genera in Phaeothecoidiellaceae, but as a distinct genus.

Type species: Translucidithyrium thailandicum X.Y. Zeng & K.D. Hyde, in Zeng et al., Mycol. Progr. 17(9): 1090 (2018).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Translucidithyrium.
