Taxonomy

The genus was originally circumscribed by Maurice Choisy in 1950, with Amandinea coniops assigned as the type species.^[4] However, the name was published invalidly because it was not accompanied by a Latin description or diagnosis, a requirement of the nomenclatural rules of the time.^[5] Christoph Scheidegger and Helmut Mayrhofer published the genus name validly in 1993.^[6] The generic name honours French Madame Amandine Manière, an acquaintance of Choisy.^[7]

Species

As of November 2023^[update], Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 94 species of Amandinea.^[8]
