Papulosaceae was established by Winka & Eriksson (2000) to accommodate a single genus Papulosa with P. amerospora as the type species. Currently, four genera, viz. Brunneosporella, Fluminicola, Papulosa and Wongia, are accepted in Papulosaceae based on multigene analyses (Khemmuk et al. 2016, Luo et al. 2019, Hyde et al. 2020, this study). Platytrachelon was placed in Papulosaceae by Zhang et al. (2017), but not accepted by Luo et al. (2019), and recently was referred to Diaporthomycetidae genera incertae sedis (Hyde et al. 2020). Papulosaceae is one of the families to accommodate annulatascaceae-like taxa Fluminicola, which is characterized by cylindrical asci with a relatively small, discoid apical ring and hyaline, fusiform ascospores (Zhang et al. 2017). These characteristics can be easily distinguished from the other three genera in the family.

Type species: Papulosa Kohlm. & Volkm.-Kohlm., Syst. Ascom. 11(2): 96 (1993).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Papulosa.
