Type species – Uleomyces parasiticus Henn., Hedwigia 34: 107 (1895).

Notes – Uleomyces was introduced by Hennings (1895) to accommodate U. parasiticus and was placed in Hypocreaceae. Barr (1997) accepted Uleomyces in Cookellaceae and Lumbsch & Huhndorf (2010) followed this. Boonmee et al. (2017) accepted this genus in Myriangiaceae based on morphological characters. This genus can be distinguished from other genera of this family by its dark red stromata and being the only fungicolous member.
