MycoBank number: MB 5569; Index Fungorum number: IF 5569; Facesoffungi number: FoF 06745;  2 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), molecular data unavailable.

Type species: Trichopeltospora pipericola Bat., Cif. & C.A.A. Costa, in Batista, Costa & Ciferri, Publicações Inst. Micol. Recife 90: 17 (1958) [1957].

Notes: Trichopeltospora was introduced as a member of Microthyriaceae. Wu et al. (2011b) transferred Trichopeltospora to Asterinaceae based on its irregular ostiole and appressoria on the hyphae. This transfer needs to be confirmed by phylogenetic analyses.
