Phylogeny

Samuels et al. (1987) accepted Iodosphaeria into the family Amphisphaeriaceae. However different authors placed it in both Lasiosphaeriaceae and Trichosphaeriaceae between 1990 and 2003. However Erikkson et al. (2001) disputed this and returned Iodosphaeria to Amphisphaeriaceae, whereas Hilber and Hilber (2002) proposed a new family, Iodosphaeriaceae, in order Xylariales, most recently supposed by Miller and Réblová in 2021. However Hongsanan et al. (2017) considered Iodosphaeriaceae as Xylariomycetidae incertae sedis. Another analysis by Wijayawardene et al (2020) accepted the family Iodosphaeriaceae in the order Amphisphaeriales.
