Hermatomycetaceae was informally proposed by Locquin (1984). Hermatomycetaceae was established by Hashimoto et al. (2017) with the type genus Hermatomyces, based on phylogeny of combined SSU, ITS, LSU, tef1 and rpb2 sequence data. The presence of the sporodochial conidiomata and the dimorphic conidia (lenticular and cylindrical forms) are two distinctive characteristics of the asexual morph (Hashimoto et al. 2017). Species of this family are saprobic on various plants (Hashimoto et al. 2017). 

Type genus: Hermatomyces Speg., Anal. Mus. nac. B. Aires, Ser. 3 13: 445 (1910) [1911].

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Hermatomycetaceae.
