Index Fungorum, Faceoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank.

Classification: Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotin, Ascomycota, Dikarya, Fungi.

Notes: Divergence time estimates suggested that Sporidesmiaceae can be upgraded to an ordinal level as Sporidesmiales (Hongsanan et al. 2017; Hyde et al. 2017a). Crous et al. (2018b) established the monotypic order Sporidesmiales based on LSU sequence data. The order is classified in Diaporthomycetidae, Sordariomycetes (Hyde et al. 2020a, 2021a).

Type species: Sporidesmiaceae Fr.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Sporidesmiales.
