The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class was unknown (incertae sedis),{{cite journal |last=Lumbsch TH, Huhndorf SM. |date=December 2007 |title=Outline of Ascomycota – 2007 |journal=Myconet |volume=13 |pages=1–58 |url=http://archive.fieldmuseum.org/myconet/outline.asp |publisher=The Field Museum, Department of Botany |location=Chicago, USA }} until 2015 when it was placed in order Diaporthales.

A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Tirisporella beccariana {{Au|(Ces.) E.B.G. Jones, K.D. Hyde & Alias (1996)}} which was found on the from the mangrove palm Nypa fruticans.{{cite journal |last1=Jones |first1=E.B.G. |last2=Hyde |first2=Kevin D. |last3=Read |first3=S.J. |last4=Moss |first4=S.T. |last5=Alias |first5=S.A. |title=Tirisporella gen. nov., an ascomycete from the mangrove palm Nypa fruticans. |journal=Canadian Journal of Botany |date=1996 |volume=74 |pages=1487–1495.}}
