Wang, F.Y. Bai & Boekhout which is in the monotypic class MoniliellomycetesQ.M. Wang, F.Y. Bai & Boekhout.[1]
The family, order and class were originally labelled as incertae sedis.[2] Until 2014, when Moniliellaceae was formed.[3]
Some species of Moniliella can cause disease in humans,[4] and also in cats.[5] The genus includes the black, yeast-like fungi in the Basidiomycota, although the black, yeast-like fungi also include some species from the Ascomycota.[6]
