Type species – Murichromolaenicola chromolaenae Mapook & K.D. Hyde, in Mapook et al., Fungal Diversity 101: 72 (2020).

Notes – Murichromolaenicola was introduced by Mapook et al. (2020) to accommodate, M. chiangraiensis and the type species, M. chromolaenae which were both collected from dead stems of Chromolaena odorata in Thailand. The genus is known from both sexual and asexual morphs having pigmented muriform ascospores and conidia. Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses showed that the genus belongs to Phaeosphaeriaceae (Mapook et al. 2020).
