Type species: Coccoidella scutula (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Höhn., Sber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-naturw. Kl., Abt. 1 118: 847 (1909).

Dothidea scutula Berk. & M.A. Curtis, Grevillea 4(no.31): 105 (1876).

Notes: Coccoidella was revisited by Boonmee et al. (2017) with description and illustration under a specimen named Coccoidella scutula (BPI642219) to represent the genus. This species was reported as parasitic on living leaves of Persea palustris (Lauraceae) from the USA. Coccoidella is placed in Coccoideaceae based on ascomata features (Boonmee et al. 2017). However, collections and sequence data are required to confirm the placement of this genus.
