Amandinea is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Caliciaceae. Genetic studies indicates that the genus Amandinea and Buellia are the same, although this is not widely accepted.
Taxonomy
The genus was originally circumscribed by Maurice Choisy in 1950, with Amandinea coniops assigned as the type species. 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. Christoph Scheidegger and Helmut Mayrhofer published the genus name validly in 1993. The generic name honours French Madame Amandine Manière, an acquaintance of Choisy.
