Type species: Asterolibertia couepiae (Henn.) G. Arnaud, Annals d’École National d’Agric. de Montpellier, Série 2 16(1–4): 165 (1918) [1917].

≡ Asterina couepiae Henn., Hedwigia 34: 104 (1895).

Notes: Asterolibertia is characterised by intercalary appressoria. Hongsanan et al. (2014b) synonymised Asterolibertia under Asterina, while Firmino et al. (2016) questioned the intercalary appressoria in Asterolibertia as not homologous to the lateral appressoria in Asterina. However, both justifications are based on morphology.
