TaxonomyMicrosoroideae is also treated as the tribe Microsoreae within a very broadly defined family Polypodiaceae sensu lato. It includes the previously separated tribe Lepisoreae.
Lepisorus was first described by John Smith as section Lepisorus of the genus Drynaria. Ren-Chang Ching raised Lepisorus to a genus. A phylogenetic study in 2019 suggested that Lepisorus was member of the subfamily Microsoroideae also termed Lepisorus sensu lato with genera Lemmaphyllum, Lepidomicrosorium, Neocheiropteris, Neolepisorus, Tricholepidium, Paragramma. The study of Schneider shows that Microsoroideae can be futher split in Lacanopterioideae, Lepisoroideae, Microsoroideae strict, and Goniopleboideae
