Type species. Liostracina krausei Monke, 1903.

Discussion. Extensive discussion of Liostracina Monke, 1903 was provided by Öpik (1967). More recently, Park et al. (2014) provided an up-to-date commentary on the genus, a complete species list, as well as remarks on the phylogenetic position of the trinucleoids. Species of Liostracina are typically differentiated by variations in the anterior border furrow, depth of the median preglabellar furrow, development of the ocular ridges, bacculae and ornament (Shergold et al. 2007).
