Remotididymella was introduced by Valenzuela-Lopez et al. (2018) based on multigene phylogenetic analysis, as taxa distinct from other genera in Didymellaceae. Valenzuela-Lopez et al. (2018) introduced this genus with two species with asexual morphs and Jayasiri et al. (2019) added a new species with sexual morph.

Type species: Remotididymella destructiva (Plowr.) Valenz.-Lopez, Cano, Crous, Guarro & Stchigel, Stud. Mycol. 90: 36.

≡ Phoma destructiva Plowr., Gard. Chron., N.S. 16: 621 (1881).
