Amandinea is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Caliciaceae.[1] Genetic studies indicates that the genus Amandinea and Buellia are the same,[2] although this is not widely accepted.[3]

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, Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 94 species of Amandinea.[8]
