MycoBank number: MB 515329; Index Fungorum number: IF 515329; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08056; 6 morphological species (Boehm et al. 2009a, Jayasiri et al. 2018, Species Fungorum 2020), 6 species with molecular data.

Type species – Hysterobrevium mori (Schwein.) E. Boehm & C.L. Schoch, in Boehm et al., Stud. Mycol. 64: 62 (2010).

≡ Hysterium mori Schwein., Trans. Am. phil. Soc., New Series 4(2): 244 (1832) [1834].

Notes – Hysterobrevium was introduced by Boehm et al. (2009a) with three new combinations. Hysterobrevium is similar to Hysterographium. However, these two genera are phylogenetically distinct and Boehm et al. (2009a) introduced Hysterobrevium as a new genus

mainly based on molecular data. Ascospores are pigmented or hyaline dictyospores, usually less than 25 μm long, and constricted at least at the median septum (Boehm et al. 2009a).
