Munk (1956) introduced Massarinaceae typified by Massarina Sacc. with M. eburnea (Tul. & C. Tul.) Sacc. as the type species. Byssothecium Fuckel, Helminthosporiella Hern.-Restr., Sarria & Crous, Helminthosporium Link, Massarina Sacc., Pseudodidymosphaeria Thambug. & K.D. Hyde, Pseudosplanchnonema Chethana & K.D. Hyde, Semifissispora H.J. Swart, Stagonospora (Sacc.) Sacc and Suttonomyces Wijayaw., Camporesi & K.D. Hyde are accepted in Massarinaceae (Wijayawardene et al. 2020). In this study, we introduce a new species of Stagonospora. 

Type genus: Massarina Sacc., Syll. fung. (Abellini) 2: 153 (1883).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Massarinaceae.
