Pleurotheciaceae is a family of ascomycetous fungi within the monotypic order of Pleurotheciales in the subclass Savoryellomycetidae and within the class Sordariomycetes.[2]

Pleurotheciales, with the single-family Pleurotheciaceae, is the largest order in the subclass of Savoryellomycetidae.[3] Pleurotheciaceae species have mostly been isolated from decaying wood or plant debris as saprobes (processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter),[4] while few species were also identified as opportunistic human pathogens (such as Phaeoisaria clematidis).[5]

It contains the following genera (with amount of species); Adelosphaeria Réblová (1 species), Anapleurothecium Hern.-Restr., R.F. Castañeda & Gené (3 sp.), Helicoascotaiwania (3 sp.), Melanotrigonum Réblová (1 species), Neomonodictys Y.Z. Lu, C.G. Lin & K.D. Hyde (2 sp.), Phaeoisaria Höhn. (25 sp.), Pleurotheciella Réblová (15 sp.), Pleurothecium Höhn. (12 sp.) and Sterigmatobotrys Oudem. (4 sp.).[6]
