Type species – Circinoniesslia nectriae Samuels & M.E. Barr

Notes – The monotypic Circinoniesslia was established by C. nectriae and has ascomata surrounded by circinate setae, cylindrical asci and oblong to ellipsoid ascospores with striate appendages (Samuels & Barr 1997). The ascospores are similar to Valetoniella and it was separated from other members of Niessliaceae based on the special circinate setae on the ascomata (Samuels & Barr 1997).
