Type species: Cleistosphaera macrostegia Syd. & P. Syd.
Notes: Cleistosphaera is similar to taxa in Botryosphaeriaceae based on its asci and ascospore features, however, it differs from Botryosphaeriaceae by mycelium with hyphopodia. The asexual morph of C. macrostegia are phoma-like (coelomycetous) which differentiates it from all genera in Perisporiopsidaceae (hyphomycetous).
