Type species – Laburnicola muriformis Wanas., Camporesi, E.B.G. Jones & K.D. Hyde, Fungal Biol. 120(11): 1364 (2016).

Notes – Laburnicola was introduced by Wanasinghe et al. (2016b) to accommodate Laburnicola muriformis as the type species. Laburnicola species shares some similar morphology with Austropleospora, Deniquelata, Kalmusia, Montagnula and Paraconiothyrium in having immersed ascomata and cylindrical to cylindric-clavate asci with a long pedicel, but it differs in having comparatively large ascospores, with 6-8 transverse septa and 1–2 longitudinal septa (Wanasinghe et al. 2016b). Only four Laburnicola species have been recorded, L. centaureae, L. dactylidis, L. hawksworthii and L. muriformis.
