Type species – Barrina polyspora A.W. Ramaley

Notes – Ramaley (1997) introduced this monotypic genus to accommodate B. polyspora which has ellipsoid-fusiform, aseptate, hyaline, smooth-walled, thin-walled ascospores and ascoconidia. Based on its phialophora-like asexual morph, the genus is accepted in Coniochaetaceae (Ramaley 1997, Kirk et al. 2013, Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015). However, based on available sequences, this genus clusters in this family.
