Initially, Dragastan (1967) described this species as Pseudoepimastopora cretacea . In the following decades, it has been successively assigned to several genera: Epimastoporella Roux, 1979 (by Bucur, 1992), Anisoporella Botteron, 1961 (by Bucur, 1995, 2000) and Griphoporella ( Pia, 1915) (by Bucur & Schlagintweit, 2009). Attribution to the last genus was already suggested by Bucur et al. (2005) following emendation of Griphoporella by Barattolo et al. (1993). Bucur et al. (2005) also emphasized the resemblance between the cap of some Petrascula specimens and thallus fragments of Griphoporella .
