Type species: Trichothyrinula sydowii Petr., Sydowia 4(1–6): 171 (1950).
Notes: Müller and von Arx (1962) introduced the second species, Trichothyrinula petrakii and assigned it to Trichothyriaceae. Lumbsch and Huhndorf (2010) placed Trichothyrinula in Microthyriaceae. However, Trichothyrinula is similar to Brefeldiella, but differs by its smaller globose to subglobose, apedicellate asci (Brefeldiella has cylindricclavate, short-pedicellate asci), and rough ornamented spore wall, with spores becoming brownish at maturity (Wu et al. 2014).
