The family Phaeoseptaceae was established by Hyde et al. (2018) to accommodate Phaeoseptum, Lignosphaeria and Neolophiostoma. Multigene phylogenetic analyses by Phukhamsakda et al. (2019) revealed that Neolophiostoma forms a distinct lineage and is also distantly related to both Halotthiaceae and Phaeoseptaceae. Members of the Phaeoseptaceae are saprobic on decaying wood and are distributed across different habitats such as terrestrial, freshwater and marine (Zhang et al. 2013, Hyde et al. 2018, Phukhamsakda et al. 2019). 

Type genus: Phaeoseptum Ying Zhang, J. Fourn. & K.D. Hyde, in Zhang, Fournier, Phookamsak, Bahkali & Hyde, Mycologia 105(3): 606 (2013).
