Index Fungorum number: IF512028; 3 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2021), 2 species with sequence data.

Type species – Conoideocrella luteorostrata (Zimm.) D. Johnson, G.H. Sung, Hywel-Jones & Spatafora

Generic description: see Johnson et al. (2009)

Notes: The genus was introduced for two entomophagous species from Torrubiella based on phylogenetic analyses (Johnson et al. 2009). Mongkolsamrit et al. (2016) introduced a third species, Conoideocrella krungchingensis. The genus is characterised by pulvinate to planar stromata and elongated, conical-shaped perithecia, while the hosts are whiteflies and scale insects (Johnson et al. 2009). (Adopted from Hyde et al. 2020)
