The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class is unknown ( incertae sedis ), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any order. [1] They are leaf parasites. [2] Such as Asterostomella miliusaeA.K. Singh, Kamal & Shiv K. Singh (1982) is found on Miliusa tomentosa (Roxb.) Finet & Gagnep. plants in India as a type of 'black mildew'. [3]

Description

The coelomycetous genus is characterised by brown, ovoid, aseptate pycnidia (fruiting body), sometimes with a non-pigmented band in the middle. The genus is considered as a member of Asterinaceae based on its scutellate (shaped like a shield or platter), [8] or orbicular, [2] conidiomata (blister fruiting body) with stellate dehiscence, which is similar to Asterina .
