Type species – Extrawettsteinina minuta M.E. Barr, Contr. Univ. Mich. Herb. 9(8): 538 (1972).

Notes – Extrawettsteinina is characterized by superficial, conical ascomata, comprising saccate bitunicate asci and ellipsoidal, obovate-clavate, septate, smooth and hyaline ascospores which turn dull brown at maturity (Barr 1972). No molecular data are available for this genus and hence the generic type needs to be collected (morphology see Ariyawansa et al. 2015c, Wijayawardene et al. 2018, outline).
