The new genus Kachbrenneriella Diederich & M. S. Christ. is described to accommodate the lichenicolous hyphomycete Torula cyanescens Kalchbr., and the new combination K. cyanescens (Kalchbr.) Diederich & M. S. Christ. is proposed. As the type specimen is considered to be lost, a neotype is designated. The fungus forms a whitish tomentum on Usnea thalli, composed of erect conidiophores on which hyaline, catenate conidia develop, and is known from Europe, Canada, and Papua New Guinea.
