The genus ''Distichium'' has traditionally been considered part of family

Ditrichaceae Ditrichaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the order Dicranales. Genera The family Ditrichaceae contains over twenty genera: *'' Astomiopsis'' *'' Bryomanginia'' *'' Ceratodon'' *'' Cheilothela'' *'' Cladastomum ...

. However, phylogenetic analyses have found Ditrichaceae to be polyphyletic and ''Distichium'' part of a protohaplolepidous grade of early branching lineages in

. Based on these studies ''Distichium'' was restored to Distichiaceae, where it was originally placed by Schimper (1860).
