Type species – Wawelia regia Namysł.

Notes – Wawelia was described based on W. regia, and originally placed in Hypocreaceae (Namyslowski 1908). With the introduction of more Wawelia species by Lundqvist (1992) and Webster et al. (1999) the genus was accepted in Xylariaceae. Wendt et al. (2018) confirmed the genus in Xylariaceae based on geniculosporium-like asexual morph.
