Morosphaeriaceae was introduced by Suetrong et al. (2009) in Pleosporales to accommodate Massarina ramunculicola K.D. Hyde and M. velatispora K.D. Hyde & Borse, which did not group in Massarinaceae in their phylogenetic analyses. Morosphaeriaceae includes four genera, namely: Aquilomyces D.G. Knapp, Kovács, J.Z. Groenew. & Crous, Clypeoloculus Kaz. Tanaka & K. Hiray., Helicascus Kohlm. and Morosphaeria Suetrong et al. (Jones et al. 2015, 2019, Wijayawardene et al. 2017).
