The family Boliniaceae was established by Rick (1931) based on black ascostromata and cylindrical asci with smooth ascospores, and the type genus is Camarops (Karsten 1873). Initially, this family was placed in Xylariales based on morphological similarity on ascostromata and ascospores (Barr 1990a, Romero & Samuels 1991). Andersson et al. (1995) showed that Boliniaceae was more closely related to Sordariales based on SSU sequence data. This family was subsequently placed in Boliniales by Kirk et al. (2001). Based on phylogenetic and morphological data nine genera were accepted in Boliniaceae (Untereiner et al. 2013, Wijayawardene et al. 2017a, 2018).

Type genus: Bolinia (Nitschke) Sacc., Syll. fung. (Abellini) 1: 352 (1882).
