 Kretzschmariella guaduae Viégas, the type species, was considered to be a synonym of Hypoxylon culmorum Cooke by Petrak (1951). This disposition was accepted by Miller (1961). Recent cultural data, including an anamorph that is unusual or perhaps unique among the Xylariaceae, compels us reinstate Kretzschmariella.

Kretzschmariella is a monotypic genus. It contains only one species: K. culmorum Cooke.
