Passeriniella is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes and in the Dothideales order. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the order is unknown (incertae sedis).[1]
The genus name of Passeriniella is in honour of Giovanni Passerini (1816-1893), who was an Italian botanist and entomologist and also director of the Orto Botanico di Parma.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Augusto Napoleone Berlese in Icon. Fungorum vol.1 on page 51 in 1892.
