Notes – The genus was introduced for two entomophagous species from Torrubiella based on phylogenetic analyses (Johnson et al. 2009). Mongkolsamrit et al. (2016) introduced a third species, Conoideocrella krungchingensis. The genus is characterised by pulvinate to planar stromata and elongated, conical-shaped perithecia, while the hosts are whiteflies and scale insects (Johnson et al. 2009).
