Type speciesCamarotella astrocaryae (Rehm) Theiss. & Syd.

Notes – Theissen & Sydow (1915) described Camarotella as having thick-walled asci and hyaline, 4-celled ascospores. Petrak (1940) revised this genus, while Clements & Shear (1931) and Wehmeyer (1975) treated Camarotella but ignored the changes introduced by Petrak (1940). Hyde & Cannon (1999), who examined parasitic fungi causing tar spots and similar diseases on palms, evaluated and accepted the genus.
