Classification: Melanommataceae, Pleosporales, Pleosporomycetidae, Dothideomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi 

Acrocordiopsis patilii was phylogenetically first treated by Suetrong et al. (2009) who demonstrated that A. patilii grouped as a residual paraphyletic assemblage within the class Dothideomycetes and could not be assigned to any of the families in this class. Subsequently, this was supported by Jones & Pang (2012). Hyde et al. (2013) assigned Acrocordiopsis to Salsugineaceae based on sequence data of Suetrong et al. (2009). Ariyawansa et al. (2015b) accommodated Acrocordiopsis in the family Caryosporaceae along with Caryospora, while, Wijayawardene et al. (2018) listed A. patilii in Salsugineaceae following Hyde et al. (2013). There are two accepted species in this genus (Index Fungorum 2019). However according to our phylogenetic analyses Acrocordiopsis grouped within Caryosporaceae. Hence, we reinstate Acrocordiopsis within Caryosporaceae. However, type species of Caryospora, C. putaminum has not been sequenced.

Type species: Acrocordiopsis patilii Borse & K.D. Hyde, Mycotaxon 34(2): 536 (1989).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Acrocordiopsis.
