MycoBank number: MB 660; Index Fungorum number: IF 660; Facesoffungi number: FoF 7000; 5 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), 2 species with molecular data.

Type species – Bryochiton monascus Döbbeler & Poelt, Mitt. bot. StSamml., Münch. 14: 218 (1978).

Notes – Bryochiton was placed in Pseudoperisporiaceae by Hyde et al. (2017) and Wijayawardene et al. (2018). However, two species of Bryochiton formed two separate clades within Teratosphaeriaceae. Thus, we conclude that Bryochiton is paraphyletic. See description and illustration in Döbbeler (2007), Hyde et al. (2017), and Wijayawardene et al. (2018)
