The Lomariopsidaceae is a family of ferns with a largely tropical distribution. In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the family is placed in the suborder Polypodiineae (eupolypods I) of the order Polypodiales.^[1] Alternatively, it may be treated as the subfamily Lomariopsidoideae of a very broadly defined family Polypodiaceae sensu lato.^[2][3]

Genera

The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) included four genera.^[1] Dryopolystichum was added in 2017,^[4] and Thysanosoria is now included in Lomariopsis, so that four genera are recognized as of February 2020^[update]:^[5]

• Cyclopeltis J.Sm.
• Dracoglossum Christenh.
• Dryopolystichum Copel.
• Lomariopsis Fée (including Thysanosoria)

The genus Nephrolepis has also been placed in this family,^[6] but it is now placed in its own family, Nephrolepidaceae.^[1][7]

Some members of the Lomariopsidaceae are cultivated as ornamental plants.
