Type species: Alina jasmini Racib.

Notes: Alina was introduced from living leaves of Jasminum sp. Alina is similar to Tretospora (the asexual morph of Balladynopsis) based on some hyphomycetous conidial structures found on the ex-isotype of Alina jasmini (Sivanesan 1981). By re-examining the same specimen, Boonmee et al. (2017) reported that they were unable to find some structures e.g. setae, hyphopodia-like structures or even conidia as previously shown in Raciborski (1909) and Sivanesan (1981). They concluded that Alina has unique characters and could not be placed in any families in Dothideomycetes (Boonmee et al. 2017). Thus, they established Alinaceae to accommodate this genus.
