MycoBank number: MB 817773; Index Fungorum number: IF 817773; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08193; 1 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), 5 species with molecular data (only one species belongs to Cyclothyriellaceae).

Type species – Cyclothyriella rubronotata (Berk. & Broome) Jaklitsch & Voglmayr.

≡ Melogramma rubronotatum Berk. & Broome, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist., Ser. 3 3: 375 (1859)

Notes – Cyclothyriella rubronotata was known as Thyridaria rubronotata. However, phylogenetic analyses indicated that it did not group with T. broussonetiae, the type species of Thyridariai (Hyde et al. 2013, Jaklitsch & Voglmayr 2016). Thus, Jaklitsch & Voglmayr (2016) provided a new generic name Cyclothyriella and introduced Cyclothyriellaceae to accommodate this clade (including Cyclothyriella and Massariosphaeria).
