Type species: Pleiostomellina pernambucensis Bat., J.L. Bezerra & Cavalc., in Batista & Bezerra, Portug. acta biol., Sér. B 7(4): 374 (1964).

Notes: The monotypic genus was introduced by Batista and Bezerra (1964). Ariyawansa et al. (2014) referred Pleiostomellina to Parmulariaceae based on its similarities with Parmularia. Pleiostomellina is characterized by superficial, flattened carbonaceous ascostromata with numerous locules in a circle, subglobose asci without a pedicel and 2–3-seri- ate, ellipsoidal, brown, 1-septate ascospores (Ariyawansa et al. 2014).
