Muyocopronaceae was illegitimate since it was introduced without a Latin diagnosis by Luttrell (1951). Hyde et al. (2013) accepted Muyocopronaceae with a single genus Muyocopron based on morphology and phylogeny. These species are saprobic on surfaces of dried twigs, stems and less common on leaves, as small black spots on plants (Hyde et al. 2013). Ascomata of the Muyocopronaceae are not considered as true thyriothecia as the upper wall is relatively wide and comprises two layers (Hyde et al. 2013).
Type genus: Muyocopron Speg., Anal. Soc. cient. argent. 12(3): 113 (1881).
