Lasseria is a genus of fungi in the Helotiales order. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the order is unknown ( incertae sedis ), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any family. [1]

The genus name of Lasseria is in honour of Tobías Lasser (1911–2006), who was a Venezuelan botanist. [2]

The genus was circumscribed by Richard William George Dennis in Kew Bull. vol.14 on page 422 in 1960.

It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Lasseria chrysophthalma. [3]
