In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the genus has three species. As of February 2020[update], the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World placed all three in a more broadly circumscribed genus Selliguea:[2]
- Polypodiopteris brachypodia (Copel.) C.F.Reed
- Polypodiopsis colorata (Copel.) Copel.
