Sphaeropsis was introduced by Saccardo (1880) with S. visci as the type species.

More than 600 epithets are listed in Index Fungorum (2022). Sphaeropsis species are characterized by brown, aseptate ascospores with a small apiculus at either end. Conidia are oval, oblong or clavate, straight, pigmented and aseptate ( Phillips et al. 2013).
