Massariola is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class is unknown (incertae sedis).[1] The genus was first described by German lichenologist Wilhelm Füisting in 1868.
The genus name of Massariola is in honour of Giuseppe Filippo Massara (1792-1839), who was an Italian doctor and botanist, working in Sondrio.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Wilhelm Füisting in Bot. Zeitung (Berlin) vol.26 on page 417 in 1868.
