Hyde et al. (2013) introduced the family Salsugineaceae to accommodate the genera Acrocordiopsis and Salsuginea (family type). In the phylogenetic analyses of Hyde et al. (2013) Salsuginea ramicola clusters with Acrocordiopsis patilii in a clade within the Pleosporales with weak support. However, Zhang et al. (2018) showed that these two genera were distantly placed and this is supported by our data.

Type genus: Salsuginea K.D. Hyde, Bot. Mar. 34(4): 315 (1991).
