The '''Agyriaceae''' are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Pertusariales. It contains two genera: ''Agyrium'', and ''Miltidea''.<ref name="Wijayawardene et al. 2020"/> The family was circumscribed by August Carl Joseph Corda in 1838.<ref name="Corda 1838"/>
In 2018, using a molecular phylogenetic approach coupled with a technique known as "temporal banding", Kraichak and colleagues proposed to fold the family Miltideaceae into the Agyriaceae.<ref name="Kraichak et al. 2018"/> A close genetic relationship between these two families had previously been noted. The proposal to subsume Miltideaceae into the Agyriaceae was accepted in a later critical analysis of the temporal banding technique for fungal classification.<ref name="Lücking 2019"/>
