Type species: Neojahnula australiensis (K.D. Hyde) W. Dong, H. Zhang & K.D. Hyde, Fungal Divers (revising).

≡ Jahnula australiensis K.D. Hyde, Aust. Syst. Bot. 6(2): 161 (1993).

Notes: The type species, Neojahnula australiensis was transferred from Jahnula collected from submerged wood in freshwater (Hyde 1993). Phylogenetically, the species clustered basal to Brachiosphaera within Aliquandostipitaceae (Prihatini et al. 2008; Hyde et al. 2017; Huang et al. 2018; Dong et al. 2020). Morphologically, J. australiensis could not be placed in Jahnula because of the few setae surround- ing the ascomata, a thin peridium comprising single row of cells, asci with an ocular chamber and a faint apical ring (Dong et al. 2020). Therefore, Dong et al. (2020) introduced Neojahnula to accommodate this species.
