Nannizzi (1934) introduced Periconiaceae to accommodate Periconia as the type genus. Previously, this family has long been accommodated in Massarinaceae, but subsequently Tanaka et al. (2015) erected Periconiaceae as a distinct family based on phylogeny. Phukhamsakda et al. (2016) showed that this family diverged in the late Cretaceous period (around 70 Mya). We follow the latest treatment and updated accounts of Periconiaceae in Hongsanan et al. (2020a). 

Type genus: Periconia Tode, Fung. mecklenb. sel. (Lüneburg) 2: 2 (1791).
