Type species: Lembosia tenella Lév., Annls Sci. Nat., Bot., sér. 3 3: 58 (1845).

Notes: Species of Lembosia and Asterina are obligately biotrophic, having appressoria and similar thyriothecia (Hosagoudar et al. 2001). However, Lembosia differs from Asterina in having elongate thyriothecia which dehisce to open by a longitudinal or X- or Y-shaped slit (Hosagoudar 1991).
