Macowaniella is a genus of fungi in the Asterinaceae family. 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]

It is mainly found in South Africa or Alaska. [2]

The genus name of Macowaniella is in honour of Peter MacOwen (1830-1909), who was a (British-) South African teacher, chemist and botanist. [3]

The genus was circumscribed by Ethel Mary Doidge in Bothalia vol.1 on page 9 in 1921.
