Type species: Prillieuxina winteriana (Pazschke) G. Arnaud, Annals d’École National d’Agric. de Montpellier, Série 2 16(1–4): 162 (1918) [1917].
≡ Asterina winteriana Pazschke, Hedwigia 31(3): 104 (1892).
Notes: Prillieuxina is typical of Asterinaceae in having stellate fissures and brown, 1-septate ascospores. However, appressoria are very rare in Prillieuxina, and the cells of the upper walls are radially arranged as in Microthyrium. Guatimosim et al. (2015) provided the only sequence for this genus.
