Seynesiella is a genus of fungi in the Microthyriaceae family.[1]
The genus was circumscribed by Gabriel Arnaud in Ann. École Natl. Agric. Montpellier ser.2, vol.16 on pages 202-203 in 1918.
The genus name of Seynesiella is in honour of Jules de Seynes (1833–1912), who was a French physician, botanist and mycologist, and Professor of Natural history at the Medical faculty within the University of Paris. He previously also was at the University of Montpellier.[2]
