Type species – Petrakiella insignis Syd.

Notes – This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Petrakiella insignis, which is characterized by the markedly developed stroma having a perithecial layer on its peripheral part and phragmosporous ascospores (Kobayashi et al. 1939). Sydow (1924) stated that the centrum structure of perithecia in P. insignis is quite similar to the members of Diaporthaceae.
